Randomized Controlled Trial
Gabapentin premedication for postoperative analgesia and emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in pediatric patients.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gabapentin premedication on postoperative 24th hour total analgesic consumption and the incidence of emergence agitation after sevoflurane based anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoingtonsillectomyandadenoidectomy. ⋯ Gabapentin premedication decreases postoperative 24th hour analgesic consumption and attenuates emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Pretreatment with a very low dose of intravenous esmolol reduces propofol injection pain.
Propofol causes considerable pain upon injection, although different methods and propofol formulations have been used to decrease this pain. We aimed to investigate the effect of i.v. esmolol pretreatment on propofol injection pain. ⋯ Pretreatment with low dose esmolol i.v. Seems to be effective in attenuating pain during propofol injection.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Comparison of ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block versus spinal anesthesia techniques for single sided inguinal herniorrhaphy].
The aim of the study is to compare the hemodynamic effects, postoperative analgesia, time to achieve discharge criteria, and patient-surgeon satisfaction of patients who are assigned for single sided inguinal hernia repair operated under iliohypogastric ilioingıinal nerve block (IHNB) or spinal anesthesia. ⋯ IHNB provides longer postoperative analgesia and earliar discharge, although takes more time to perform and to produce maximum effect, for single sided inguinal henia repair.

Combined nerve blocks of the upper extremity and lower limb in same operation rarely performed due to the risk of systemic toxicity of local anesthetics. Therefore, general anesthesia is generally preferred in this operations. ⋯ The block was successful and no block-related complications were noted. We think that combining an ultrasound guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block and a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block is a clinically useful and safe technique and an alternative anesthetic method for procedures requiring skin grafts for the upper extremity.
