Randomized Controlled TrialOptimal effect-site concentration of remifentanil for inhibiting response to laryngeal mask airway removal during emergence.
This randomized, controlled, double-blind study was designed to determine the optimal dose of remifentanil for preventing complications associated with the removal of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) without delaying emergence. ⋯ Maintaining a remifentanil Ce of 1.0 ng/mL during emergence may suppress adverse events such as coughing, breath-holding, and agitation following the removal of LMA without delayed awakening.

Randomized Controlled TrialSelective spinal anesthesia using 1 mg of bupivacaine with opioid in elderly patients for transurethral resection of prostate.
This study was to evaluate the characteristics of selective spinal anesthesia using 1 mg of bupivacaine combined with fentanyl or sufentanil in elderly patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate. ⋯ Selective spinal anesthesia using 1 mg of bupivacaine with fentanyl or sufentanil provided appropriate sensory block level with spared motor function for transurethral resection of the prostate in elderly patients. Intrathecal sufentanil was superior to fentanyl in postoperative analgesic quality.
