Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of ondansetron on analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen after hysterectomy: A randomized double blinded placebo controlled trial.
To determine that perioperative ondansetron reduces the analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen. ⋯ Ondansetron significantly decreased the analgesic effect of acetaminophen during the initial postoperative period. Our results thus confirm that acetaminophen analgesia is partially mediated by serotonin receptors. However, the reduction was of marginal clinical importance and short-lived.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of dexmedetomidine on renal function in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass: A double-blind randomized controlled trial.
We attempted to explore the effect of Dex on renal function in patients with cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ Dex may attenuate the renal injury and decrease the incidence of AKI in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under CPB.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Prospective double blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial of the pectoral nerves (Pecs) block type II.
The aim of this clinical trial was to test the hypothesis whether adding the pectoral nerves (Pecs) block type II to the anesthetic procedure reduces opioid consumption during and after breast surgery. ⋯ The Pecs block reduces postsurgical opioid consumption during the PACU stay time for patients undergoing breast surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Automated anesthesia carts reduce drug recording errors in medication administrations - A single center study in the largest tertiary referral hospital in China.
To clinically evaluate a type of patented automated anesthesia cart in medication administrations in anesthesia. ⋯ The utilization of automated anesthesia carts reduced the drug recording errors in medication administrations of anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Is perioperative administration of 5% dextrose effective in reducing the incidence of PONV in laparoscopic cholecystectomy?: A randomized control trial.
To compare the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during perioperative administration of 5% dextrose and normal saline in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ Perioperative administration of 5% dextrose in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery can reduce PONV significantly and even if PONV occurs, the quantity of rescue antiemetics to combat PONV is also reduced significantly.
