To conduct a telephone survey to determine the degree of patient satisfaction with the anesthetic technique applied during outpatient arthroscopic surgery on the knee. ⋯ The overall satisfaction with various types of anesthesia is similar among outpatients undergoing arthroscopic surgery on the knee; therefore, patient preferences for one technique over another should be taken into more consideration.

[Spanish scientific production in anesthesiology and resuscitation 1983-1995].
To quantify and analyze the information available internationally on Spanish scientific productivity in anesthesiology from 1983 through 1995. ⋯ Growth is exponential in anesthesiology, as in other disciplines, and the distribution satisfies Price's law. The 3 databases are the major collectors of the papers of Spanish anesthesiologists. The SIM and MedLine are the main indexers of Spanish-authored articles in the literature. Excerpta presents the largest growth on the compilation of articles. The inclusion of the three databases is essential in bibliographic searches and bibliometric studies on Spanish anesthesiology.

Comparative Study[Predictive capability of the TCI Diprifusor system in patients with terminal chronic renal insufficiency].
To evaluate the predictive capability of a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system in patients with terminal chronic renal failure by comparing real drug concentrations with predicted concentrations. ⋯ The results indicate that the predictive capability of the Diprifusor pharmacokinetic model is acceptable in patients with terminal kidney failure, given the minor bias of 10% to 20% and the degree of accuracy between 20% and 40%.
