Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Preoperative droperidol improved postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing rotator-cuff repair during general anesthesia using intravenous morphine.
To demonstrate the effect of preoperative and intraoperative, small-dose intravenous (IV) droperidol on postoperative pain relief in orthopedic patients given general anesthesia with morphine. ⋯ Preoperative IV droperidol resulted in improved postoperative pain relief inpatients undergoing shoulder rotator cuff surgery with general anesthesia using IV morphine.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Epidural infusion of clonidine or clonidine plus ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia in children undergoing major abdominal surgery.
To investigate the analgesic efficacy and safety of epidural infusion of clonidine in children undergoing major abdominal surgery. ⋯ For children undergoing major abdominal surgery, the addition of epidural infusion of clonidine or clonidine plus ropivacaine to IV ketoprofen provided good analgesia quality for postoperative rest pain.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of general and spinal anesthesia and their influence on hemostatic markers in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
To evaluate the profile of molecular hemostatic markers in patients receiving either spinal or balanced general anesthesia for total hip arthroplasty. ⋯ Our initial hypothesis that the lesser risk of postoperative DVT in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty in regional anesthesia is reflected in the course of the plasmatic molecular markers of hemostasis could not be verified. There were no significant differences in the timely course of the markers at any given time point.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Influence of form structure on the anesthesia preoperative evaluation.
To determine the impact of changes in form design on the capture of administrative and clinical data elements. ⋯ Design of a form can have a significant impact on the completion rate of form elements. Visual cues such as a labeled space for medication doses may improve the completion of these elements. Design layout can also have an influence on completion. In this case, changes to the layout may have impeded the completion rate for ASA Physical Status.
