Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Efficacy of spinal anesthesia with small-dose lidocaine in ambulatory prostate biopsy procedures for elderly patients : comparison with propofol anesthesia].
Opinions differ as to what is more appropriate anesthetic technique for elderly patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of spinal anesthesia with small-dose lidocaine and those of propofol general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing ambulatory prostate biopsy. ⋯ Spinal anesthesia with 10 mg of hyperbaric 1% lidocaine may be more preferable to propofol anesthesia in elderly patiens undergoing ambulatory prostate biopsy, with respect to safety and costs.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Can preoperative administration of H2 blocker reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)?].
PONV is a complication that reduces a patient's quality of life (QOL). Recently, it was reported that PONV is reduced by preoperative administration of histamine receptor (H1 and H2) inhibitor. In the present study, based on the hypothesis that PONV might be reduced by preoperative administration of H2 blocker, we examined the effect of preoperative administration of H2 blocker only on the incidence of PONV. ⋯ Preoperative administration of H2 blocker tends to reduce PONV in women.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparison of BIS and Ramsay score for evaluation of sedation with propofol in ICU].
BIS has not been evaluated for sedation in ICU. We examined BIS for evaluation of sedation with propofol in ICU. ⋯ The use of BIS for sedation could not improve the management of postoperative sedation in ICU.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of amino acid infusion for prevention of intraoperative hypothermia during laparotomy].
Amino acid infusion prevents intraoperative hypothermia. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of amino acid infusion on intraoperative core temperature of patients during laparotomy. ⋯ Amino acid infusion has more preventive effect on intraoperative hypothermia than electrolyte solution.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
[Neuromuscular blocking effects of Org 9426 (rocuronium bromide); a comparative study with vecuronium bromide in Japanese patients].
Efficacy and safety of Org 9426 were compared with those of vecuronium bromide in Japanese patients. ⋯ Org 9426 showed more rapid onset time than that of vecuronium and similar clinical duration and recovery times to those of vecuronium in Japanese patients.
