Comparative Study[Expected versus real impact factors of publications from Spanish departments of anesthesiology (1991-1996)].
To identify publications by Spanish anesthesiologists in journals indexed by Journal Citation Report from 1991 through 1996; to count the number of citations received and compare the results with the impact factor (IF) of the journals in which they were published. ⋯ Research by Spanish anesthesiologists is concentrated in only a few hospitals. Although the number of publications is increasing, their international repercussion has still not reached the desired level.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[The effect of anesthetic technique on recovery from neuromuscular blockade with cisatracurium].
To assess the effect of four anesthetic techniques on recovery after a single dose of 0.2 mg/kg of cisatracurium. ⋯ The inhaled anesthetics studied prolong the duration of clinical effect of cisatracurium more than does propofol.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Bupivacaine in continuous epidural infusion using a portable mechanical devise for postoperative analgesia after surgery for hernia of the lumbar disk].
To determine the optimum concentration of bupivacaine administered by continuous epidural infusion, using a Baxter Single Day elastomeric infusor at a rate of 2 ml/h, to treat pain during the first 24 h after lumbar laminectomy. ⋯ Continuous epidural infusion of 0.125% and 0.25% bupivacaine through an elastomeric infusor gives excellent analgesia during the first 24 h after surgery. Administration of 0.25% bupivacaine is associated with a higher incidence of urinary retention. We therefore think that the most recommendable concentration of bupivacaine for infusion is 0.125%.
