Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEffect of validated skills simulation on operating room performance in obstetrics and gynecology residents: a randomized controlled trial.
To estimate whether training on previously validated laparoscopic skill stations translates into improved technical performance in the operating room. ⋯ We found that proficiency-based simulation offers additional benefit to traditional education for all levels of residents. The use of easily accessible, low-fidelity tasks should be incorporated into formal laparoscopic training.

Randomized Controlled TrialAntiemetics added to phenylephrine infusion during cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial.
To estimate whether the addition of metoclopramide or its combination with ondansetron to a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion provides improved intraoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis compared with phenylephrine infusion alone. ⋯ Metoclopramide with ondansetron reduced intraoperative nausea and vomiting and early postoperative nausea and vomiting compared with placebo. Metoclopramide alone also decreased intraoperative but not postoperative nausea and vomiting. Surgical factors contributed to a significant difference in intraoperative nausea and vomiting between the two centers.

Randomized Controlled TrialHydrocodone-acetaminophen for pain control in first-trimester surgical abortion: a randomized controlled trial.
Although hydrocodone-acetaminophen is commonly used for pain control in first-trimester abortion, the efficacy of oral opioids for decreasing pain has not been established. Our objective was to estimate the effect of hydrocodone-acetaminophen on patient pain perception during first-trimester surgical abortion. ⋯ I.
