Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The efficacy of Labetalol versus Nitroglycerin for induction of controlled hypotension during sinus endoscopic surgery. A prospective, double-blind and randomized study.
To assess the efficacy of labetalol versus nitroglycerin for induction of controlled hypotension during sinus endoscopic surgery. ⋯ Both labetalol and NTG are effective and safe drugs for induction of controlled hypotension during sinus endoscopic surgery. While, labetalol was better as it offered optimum operative condition with mild decrease in blood pressure, decreased surgical bleeding and less tachycardia during the surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Injection speed of spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean delivery in Asian women and the incidence of hypotension: A randomised controlled trial.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if a slower speed of spinal anaesthesia injection would reduce the incidence of hypotension. ⋯ In our study population, there was no difference in incidence of hypotension and nausea/vomiting when spinal injection time is prolonged beyond 15s to 60s.

Effects of stylet use during tracheal intubation on postoperative pharyngeal pain in anesthetized patients: A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Intubation using a tracheal stylet in the ETT significantly increases the incidence of post-operative sore throat.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Dose ranging effects of pregabalin on pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy: A randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled, clinical trial.
The study aimed to investigate the preemptive analgesia efficacy of different concentrations (75, 150 and 300mg) of preemptive pregabalin for the postoperative pain management after laparoscopic hysterectomy. ⋯ Our data demonstrated preemptive administration of 75, 150, and 300mg pregabalin play an important role in reducing postoperative pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy. Comparison of different concentrations and side effects indicates oral administration of 150mg pregabalin is an effective and safe method for postoperative pain management after laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexamethasone as a ropivacaine adjuvant for ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block: A randomized, double-blinded clinical trial.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous or perineural dexamethasone added to ropivacaine on the duration of ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus blocks (BPB). ⋯ Perineural 4mg dexamethasone was more effective than intravenous in extending the duration of ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided interscalene BPB. Moreover, Dpn has significant effects on onset time, PONV, and VAS.
