Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyHands-free induction of general anaesthesia: a randomised pilot study comparing usual care and high-flow nasal oxygen.
Pre-induction high-flow nasal oxygenation may be an acceptable alternative to traditional face-mask pre-oxygenation, with patient-comfort benefits.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of the intratidal compliance profile at different PEEP levels in children with healthy lungs: a prospective, crossover study.
Optimal intraoperative lung protective ventilation (LPV) strategies in young children are largely under-explored. Individualised PEEP levels are likely to contribute to optimal lung protection. We determined optimal PEEP levels in young children during general anaesthesia by evaluating changes in intratidal compliance with varying PEEP. ⋯ NCT03533296.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Intravesical dexmedetomidine instillation reduces postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort in male patients under general anesthesia: a randomized controlled study.
The catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) of male patients is a common clinical problem, albeit lacking effective solutions. The present study aimed to investigate whether intravesical dexmedetomidine instillation alleviates the postoperative urinary discomfort in male patients with catheter under general anesthesia. ⋯ Intravesical dexmedetomidine instillation reduces postoperative urinary discomfort and urethra pain and improves satisfaction in male patients under general anesthesia.

The effect of preoperative intravenous lidocaine on postoperative pain following hysteroscopy: A randomized controlled trial.
The use of hysteroscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine and endometrial abnormalities is often associated with postoperative pain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the efficacy of preoperative intravenous (IV) lidocaine in reducing pain after hysteroscopy. ⋯ Preoperative bolus administration of 1.5 mg/kg of IV lidocaine may be used to decrease incidence of pain after hysteroscopy under general anesthesia.
