Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyCOMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF PREEMPTIVE INTRAVENOUS AND RECTAL ACETAMINOPHEN ON PAIN MANAGEMENT AFTER INGUINAL HERNIORRHAPHY IN CHILDREN: A PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY.
Postoperative pain management is a critical concern in pediatric surgery. Acetaminophen is the safest and most widely used analgesic in children. The present study compared the analgesic efficacy of intravenous (IV) and rectal acetaminophen versus placebo in children undergoing inguinal herniorrhaphy. ⋯ Both IV and rectal acetaminophen were more effective than placebo in pain relief after inguinal hernia repair in children. They were also associated with lower frequencies of postoperative vomiting. The greatest analgesic efficacy of both forms was observed during the first two hours after surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyCOMPARISON OF THE BONFILS INTUBATION FIBRESCOPE VERSUS C-MAC VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE.
This prospective, randomized, single blind, single operator study was conducted to compare hemodynamic responses when endotracheal intubation was performed using the Bonfils intubation fibrescope versus the C-MAC videolaryngoscope. ⋯ Intubation using the Bonfils intubation fibrescope took longer, and resulted in significantly higher heart rate when compared with the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.
