Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Improved detection of the pulse oximeter signal with a digital nerve block in patients in poor health status].
To demonstrate the efficacy of a digital nerve block for improving pulse oximetry in conditions of low tissue perfusion. ⋯ A digital nerve block can be used to prevent pulse oximetry failures in conditions of low peripheral perfusion.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparison of rapid anesthetic induction with sevoflurane vs target-controlled infusion of propofol].
To determine whether inhalation induction is faster than target-controlled infusion (TCI). ⋯ Anesthetic induction is faster with a TCI of propofol based on Ce than with sevoflurane. The propofol Ce was consistent with the direction of change in the AAI.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Efficacy of a continuous interscalene block vs intra-articular analgesia for postoperative pain in arthroscopic acromioplasty].
To compare the utility of intra-articular analgesia (IA) to that of a continuous interscalene block (CIB) by evaluating the quality of postoperative analgesia, a satisfaction index, and the incidence of complications. ⋯ Postoperative pain in the first 12 hours after shoulder surgery can be adequately managed with either IA or CIB. CIB is more effective than IA between 12 and 48 hours after surgery.
