Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Comparison of the TetraGraph and TOFscan for monitoring recovery from neuromuscular blockade in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit.
Comparison of the TetraGraph (TG) and TOFscan (TS) for monitoring recovery from neuromuscular blockade in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). ⋯ TS and TG provide interchangeable quantitative measurements once the TOF ratio has returned to a value of 0.90 or greater in the PACU.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of systemic lidocaine on postoperative quality of recovery and analgesia after video-assisted thoracic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
Intraoperative systemic lidocaine has become widely accepted as an adjunct to general anesthesia, associated with opioid-sparing and enhanced recovery. We hypothesized that perioperative systemic lidocaine improves postoperative pain and enhances the quality of recovery (QoR) in patients following video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). ⋯ Our current findings do not support using perioperative systemic lidocaine as a potential strategy to improve postoperative pain and enhance QoR in patients undergoing VATS.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Lung protective ventilation strategy to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: A randomized double blinded clinical trial.
To evaluate the effects of ventilation with low tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer. ⋯ LPV combining low tidal volume and PEEP during anesthesia for RARC may decrease the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications.
