Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of dexmedetomidine on anesthetic requirements in cardiovascular surgery].
An anesthetic-sparing effect of dexmedetomidine has been shown in several studies. We investigated the effect of dexmedetomidine on anesthetic requirements in 24 patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. ⋯ The combined use of dexmedetomidine decreases anesthetic requirements in cardiovascular surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[The efficacy of intravenous lidocaine for acute herpetic pain--placebo controlled trial].
Acute herpetic pain (AHP) which is considered not only nociceptive pain but also neuropathic pain, is often severe and intractable. Although there have been reports of the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine (IVL) for neuropathic pain, the efficacy of lidocaine for AHP is not known. Therefore, the effect of IVL for AHP was examined. ⋯ This study demonstrates that IVL has a significant analgesic effect in patients with AHP.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[BONFILS retromolar intubation fiberscope VS styletscope for oro-tracheal intubation].
Battery-powered BONFILS Retromolar Intubation Fiberscope (B-scope) is a nonflexible fiberscope having the same curvature as the Macintosh laryngoscope. Battery-powered StyletScope (S-scope) has a flexible apex whose direction was controlled by grasping a handle. We assessed the operational performance of the two scopes. ⋯ BONFILS Retromolar Intubation Fiberscope and StyletScope are both good in the operational performance.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Effects of anesthetic agents on seizure duration and hemodynamics in electroconvulsive therapy].
Thiopental and suxamethonium have been recommended as anesthetic agents for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). We hypothesize that propofol and vecuronium can also be used and superior to thiopental and suxamethonium in seizure duration and hemodynamics. ⋯ Rocuronium, which will be used for ECT in future, is needed to be studied in suxamethonium-controlled design.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparison of intravenous fentanyl analgesia and epidural analgesia for postoperative pain relief].
Epidural analgesia is available for postoperative pain relief except for the patients with bleeding tendency or under anticoagulation. Intravenous fentanyl analgesia can be applied for such patients but its effect has not been evaluated enough. We compared these two methods after abdominal surgery. ⋯ Intravenous fentanyl analgesia is safe and possibly more effective than epidural analgesia.
