Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Anesthesia with sevoflurane vs propofol in elective extracavity surgery].
To compare the cardiovascular effects and recovery characteristics of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia in 80 ASA I and II patients undergoing elective extracavity surgery expected to last at least one hour. ⋯ In the sevoflurane group, heart rate and diastolic pressure were slightly higher than in the propofol group. Recovery time was faster after sevoflurane anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[The effectiveness of enoximone in patients with serious left ventricular dysfunction submitted for aorto-coronary bypass].
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the combined positive inotropic and vasodilating properties of enoximone have a short-term benefit when used in patients who underwent open heart surgery. ⋯ Enoximone administer immediately after open heart surgery had more beneficial hemodynamic and clinical effects than dopamine in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Superselective spinal anesthesia for saphenectomy intervention. Comparison of 2 concentrations of hyperbaric bupivacaine].
High concentrations of intrathecal local anaesthetics may be neurotoxic. The purpose of this study was to compare the features of superselective spinal anaesthesia (ASS) obtained with an equivalent dose (5 mg) of 0.5% (available now also in Italy) and 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine. ⋯ 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine can be successfully use in ASS; early regression of motor block is especially suitable for the requirements of day surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Spinal anesthesia in cesarean section: 1% versus 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine].
To compare the quality of anesthesia produced by the intrathecal administration of equivalent doses of 0.5% and 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing cesarian section. ⋯ No important difference was observed in the quality of the anesthesia obtained using the intrathecal administration of equivalent doses of 1% and 0.5% solutions of hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing cesarian section. In view of the possible relationship between the neurotoxicity of local anesthetics and the concentration of the solution used for spinal anesthesia, it is to be hoped that less concentrated solutions of hyperbaric bupivacaine will be introduced in Italy compared to the 1% solution currently available.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Evaluation of the synergism between ketorolac and morphine in the treatment of postoperative pain].
The aim of the study is to determine what concentration of ketorolac and morphine administered together i.v. achieve best synergic effect between NSAID antiinflammatory and opioids analgesic properties. ⋯ Results suggest a greater synergetic effect between morphine and ketorolac in concentrations used in group 2.
