Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[The effect of propofol vs desflurane on recovery from anesthesia with remifentanil in outpatient surgery].
To compare the effect on parameters of postanesthetic recovery of propofol and desflurane administered with high doses of remifentanil for major outpatient surgery. ⋯ During anesthesia with remifentanil, the administration of desflurane is associated with better psychomotor recovery parameters than is propofol, but the rate of nausea and vomiting is higher with desflurane.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Influence of bispectral index monitoring on fentanyl requirements during total intravenous anesthesia for major gynecological surgery].
To determine the influence that bispectral index (BIS) monitoring of hypnosis might have on need for analgesia during surgery under total intravenous anesthesia provided by bolus administration of fentanyl. ⋯ BIS monitoring of depth of hypnosis can influence requirements for fentanyl during total intravenous anesthesia by bolus dosing for maintenance of analgesia. This is probably due to changes in the administration of propofol made possible by BIS monitoring.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[The effect of encephalogram bispectral index monitoring during total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in outpatient surgery].
To assess the effect of monitoring the encephalogram bispectral index (BIS) during outpatient surgery. Outcome measures were amount of propofol administered, awakening and discharge. ⋯ BIS monitoring allows for propofol titration that leads to a mean reduction of 32.6% in consumption, shortening the time until eye opening without causing intraoperative awareness or reducing patient satisfaction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparison of ropivacaine and bupivacaine for epidural analgesia during labor].
To compare the analgesic efficacy and level of motor block using two local anesthetics, ropivacaine and bupivacaine, during labor. ⋯ Ropivacaine and bupivacaine are equally effective for epidural analgesia during labor at the doses used and they do not cause a relevant level of motor blockade.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[The efficacy and safety of continuous epidural analgesia versus intradural-epidural analgesia during labor].
To determine the efficacy and safety of intradural-epidural analgesia in comparison with continuous epidural analgesia during labor and childbirth. ⋯ Intradural-epidural analgesia provides effective analgesia for labor, with rapid onset, reduced extension of sensory block, lower total doses of local anesthetics and few side effects.
