Target controlled priming for rapid onset of intubation dose: A new approach.
To determine the pattern of onset of the intubating dose when given at a monitored target priming block in either phase of the priming drug effect. ⋯ In conclusion, target controlled priming (DBSr) for administration of the intubating dose appears to be a useful double-vision sign to predict the onset of the effect of the intubating dose precisely.

Titration of propofol infusion using processed electroencephalogram during combined general and spinal anesthesia.
To determine the necessary mean infusion rate of propofol during combined nitrous oxide (N2O) and propofol spinal anesthesia by using the processed electroencephalogram (pEEG). ⋯ Titration of propofol infusion using SEF during combined general and spinal anesthesia provided a rapid recovery without any clinical signs of inadequate anesthesia.

Epidural anesthesia during hysterectomy diminishes postoperative pain and urinary cortisol release.
To examine the hypothesis that epidural anesthesia throughout lower abdominal surgery would depress both postoperative pain and cortisol release. ⋯ Epidural blockade prior to surgical stimuli and throughout lower abdominal surgery reduces the postoperative dynamic pain and stress response.
