Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The comparison of insertion depth for orotracheal intubation between standard polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes and straight reinforced tracheal tubes.
To investigate whether these properties of reinforced tubes cause difference in insertion depth compared to standard polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes. ⋯ The insertion depth of straight reinforced tracheal tubes can be shorter than that of standard polyvinyl chloride tracheal tubes due to different tube pathways in the upper airway.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Oral mask ventilation is more effective than face mask ventilation after nasal surgery.
To evaluate and compare the face mask (FM) and oral mask (OM) ventilation techniques during anesthesia emergence regarding tidal volume, leak volume, and difficult mask ventilation (DMV) incidence. ⋯ During anesthesia emergence after nasal surgery the OM may offer an effective ventilation method as it decreases the incidence of DMV and the gas leak around the mask and provides higher tidal volume delivery compared with FM ventilation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The efficacy of labetalol vs dexmedetomidine for attenuation of hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.
To assess the effectiveness of labetalol vs dexmedetomidine for attenuation of hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine attenuates the hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation more effectively compared with labetalol without any deleterious effects. Furthermore, dexmedetomidine decreases dose of propofol for induction of anesthesia as guided by bispectral index.
