Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized, prospective, double-blind study of the efficacy of dexpanthenol nasal spray on the postoperative treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis after endoscopic sinus surgery.
To assess the efficacy of dexpanthenol nasal spray compared with normal saline spray in the postoperative treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). ⋯ The majority of the postoperative symptom scores and all of the endoscopic scores of the dexpanthenol group were not statistically different from those of the normal saline group. However, dexpanthenol nasal spray has superior efficacy compared with normal saline nasal spray on improvement of mucociliary clearance and nasal discharge in the postoperative care of CRS patients after ESS.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of polyethylene bag to prevent heat loss in preterm infants at birth: a randomized controlled trial.
Hypothermia at birth has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. ⋯ Polyethylene bag prevents heat loss at delivery in preterm infant less than 32 weeks gestation. Incidence of hypothermia was significantly reduced by use of polyethylene bag, a simple and inexpensive intervention.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of intramuscular diclofenac after explore laparotomy for gynecologic surgery: a randomized double-blinded placebo controlled trial.
Several adjuvant analgesic agents proposed to treat the postoperative pain while reducing the doses of opioid and its derivatives. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in several operative procedures. The present study aimed to demonstrate the morphine-sparing effects of single-dose intramuscular diclofenac sodium in explore laparotomy gynecologic surgery. ⋯ The present study demonstrated that single dose of diclofenac sodium has morphine-sparing effects and can be safely used in explore laparotomy gynecologic surgery without significant adverse effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Pain control in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery with/without preoperative (preemptive) parecoxib sodium injection: a randomized study.
To determine the effectiveness of preoperative parecoxib sodium injection for pain relief after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. ⋯ Preoperative parecoxib sodium significantly reduced postoperative meperidine requirement and consumption, while insignificantly declined the pain scores. Serious adverse events were not encountered

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of effective-site target controlled infusion and manually controlled infusion of propofol for sedation during spinal anesthesia.
Compare the efficacy of sedation of propofol infusion during spinal anesthesia between effective-site target controlled infusion and manually controlled infusion during spinal anesthesia. ⋯ The clinical benefit when used for sedation during spinal anesthesia of MCI was not different from TCI. There were complications in the TCI group more than the MCI group.
