Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Application of dexmedetomidine-remifentanil in high-intensity ultrasound ablation of uterine fibroids: a randomised study.
To compare the effects of dexmedetomidine-remifentanil with the traditional analgesia and sedation regimen midazolam-remifentanil during HIFU treatment of uterine fibroids. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine-remifentanil is associated with more stable sedation in patients, more efficient HIFU treatment and higher degree of patient comfort than is midazolam-remifentanil.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Enhancing ablation effects of a microbubble contrast agent on high-intensity focused ultrasound: an experimental and clinical study.
To investigate the relationship between SonoVue ablation enhancement effects on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and the concentration of SonoVue and timing of HIFU. ⋯ SonoVue, a microbubble contrast agent, enhanced the ablation effects of HIFU treatment; the optimal time to begin HIFU sonication appears to be 1 minute after the administration of SonoVue.
