Review Meta AnalysisImpact of the intubation model on the efficacy of rocuronium during rapid sequence intubation: systematic review of randomized trials.
Propofol-rocuronium is thought to be superior to thiopental-rocuronium for rapid sequence intubation (RSI). The role of the intubation model per se has never been investigated. ⋯ The efficacy of rocuronium for RSI is influenced by both, the induction agent and the intubation model. To test the clinical usefulness of alternatives to succinylcholine for RSI, a true RSI model should be used.

Parental presence during induction enhances the effect of oral midazolam on emergence behavior of children undergoing general anesthesia.
Pre-anesthetic anxiety and emergence agitation are major challenges for anesthesiologists in pediatric anesthesia. Thus, sedative premedication and parental presence during induction of anesthesia (PPIA) are used to treat pre-anesthetic anxiety in children. The aim of the present study was to test if a combination of mother presence and midazolam premedication is effective for improving emergence condition in children undergoing general anesthesia. ⋯ Parental presence during induction of anesthesia enhanced the effect of oral midazolam on emergence behavior of children undergoing general anesthesia.
