Randomized Controlled TrialA novel stimulating electrode attachment method designed to maintain electromyography-based neuromuscular monitoring detectability during laparoscopic surgery: a single-center randomized, double-blind, controlled pilot study.
We evaluated the electromyography (EMG)-based neuromuscular monitoring detectability of our novel stimulating electrode attachment method compared to the original Nihon-Kohden (Tokyo, Japan) attachment method. ⋯ Crossing the line connecting the anode and cathode with the ulnar nerve stabilizes EMG-based neuromuscular monitoring detectability.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparing the hemodynamic effects of ketamine versus fentanyl bolus in patients with septic shock: a randomized controlled trial.
Ketamine and fentanyl are commonly used for sedation and induction of anesthesia in critically ill patients. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects of ketamine versus fentanyl bolus in patients with septic shock. ⋯ gov Identifier: NCT05957302. URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05957302 .

Randomized Controlled TrialRadial artery catheterization using a novel T-type ultrasound probe: a single-center randomized study.
Ultrasound guidance has been reported to facilitate radial artery catheterization compared with the palpation method. However, a recent meta-analysis showed that there was not significant differences in the first attempt success rate between the long-axis in-plane (LA-IP) method and the short-axis out-of-plane method. In 2023, we started using a novel T-type probe. ⋯ The primary outcome was the first attempt success rate. The first attempt success rate in Group T (49/71, 69%) was significantly higher than that in Group L (31/68, 46%) (p = 0.0062). The present study showed that the T-type probe might facilitate the radial artery catheterization rather than the LA-IP method.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of lung-recruitment maneuver on postoperative shoulder pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized controlled trial.
Lung-recruitment maneuvers (LRM) have been shown to reduce postoperative pain after laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to investigate the association of LRM with the incidence of shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ LRM reduces both the incidence and intensity of shoulder pain during 24 h after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Additionally, LRM was associated with reduced intensity of abdominal pain during mobilization over the study period.
