Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of sugammadex on incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade: a randomized, controlled study.
Reversal with sugammadex may dramatically reduce the incidence of post-operative residual paralysis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effects of acute plasma volume expansion on renal perfusion, filtration, and oxygenation after cardiac surgery: a randomized study on crystalloid vs colloid.
In the present randomized study, we evaluated the differential effects of a colloid and a crystalloid fluid on renal oxygen delivery (RD(O2)), glomerular filtration (GFR), renal oxygen consumption ((RV(O2))), and the renal oxygen supply-demand relationship (i.e., renal oxygenation) after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ NCT01729364.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of contrast flow and clinical effectiveness between a modified paramedian interlaminar approach and transforaminal approach in cervical epidural steroid injection.
The different methods of cervical epidural injection include the median or paramedian interlaminar (PI) approach and the transforaminal (TF) approach. We hypothesized that the modified PI (mPI) approach could deliver drugs suitably and safely into the anterior epidural space compared with the TF approach. ⋯ This result suggests that the mPI approach allows for suitable and safe delivery of drugs into the anterior epidural space.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Randomized controlled trial of vagal modulation by sham feeding in elective non-gastrointestinal (orthopaedic) surgery.
Enhanced recovery, in part, aims to reduce postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (PGID). Acquired - or established- vagal dysfunction may contribute to PGID, even for surgery not involving the gastrointestinal tract. However, direct evidence for this is lacking. We hypothesized that chewing gum reduces morbidity (including PGID) by preserving efferent vagal neural activity postoperatively after elective orthopaedic surgery. ⋯ ISRCTN20301599.
