Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Head extension during laryngoscopy for obtaining a best glottic view: comparison of the McGrath and Macintosh laryngoscopes].
Camera eye in the McGrath video-laryngoscope blade is located closer to the larynx, which may allow reduction of the head-neck movement during laryngoscopy compared with a conventional laryngoscope. We compared the degree of head extension during laryngoscopy with McGrath laryngoscope and that with Macintosh laryngoscope. ⋯ The McGrath laryngoscope may be a reasonable technique of choice for intubation when minimal cervical spine movement is indispensable because of reduction of head extension during laryngoscopy compared with the conventional laryngoscopy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Efficacy and safety of sugammadex (Org 25969) in reversing moderate neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium or vecuronium in Japanese patients].
Efficacy and safety of sugammadex in reversing neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium or vecuronium were investgated in Japanese patients. ⋯ The efficacy and safety of sugammadex were confirmed in Japanese surgical patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Efficacy and safety of sugammadex (Org 25969) in reversing deep neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium or vecuronium in Japanese patients].
Efficacy and safety of sugammadex in reversing neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium or vecuronium were investgated in Japanese patients. ⋯ The efficacy and safety of sugammadex were confirmed in Japanese surgical patients for reversal from deep block.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Lower thoracic epidural analgesia improves postoperative analgesia following vaginal total hysterectomy].
In our hospital, lumbar epidural analgesia had been used for postoperative analgesia following vaginal total hysterectomy (VTH). But some patients experienced severe abdominal pain or numbness of the legs. Therefore we planned a randomized prospective study to compare lower thoracic epidural analgesia and lumbar epidural analgesia following VTH. ⋯ Lower thoracic epidural analgesia is more effective to provide postoperative analgesic effect following VTH compared with lumbar epidural analgesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effectiveness of local cooling and lidocaine administration for prevention of pain upon injection of propofol].
Propofol is commonly used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, but pain at the site of intravenous injection is a clinical problem. We studied the effectiveness of local cooling and pretreatment with lidocaine for prevention of injection pain of propofol. ⋯ The results suggest that cooling and pretreatment with lidocaine reduce the incidence of pain upon propofol injection.
