Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Impact of shorter-acting neuromuscular blocking agents on fast-track recovery of the cardiac surgical patient.
Residual paralysis associated with the use of long-acting muscle relaxants can delay recovery from anesthesia and surgery. The authors tested the hypothesis that use of shorter-acting neuromuscular blocking agents is associated with reductions in tracheal extubation times and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ The use of shorter-acting neuromuscular blocking agents in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with reductions in tracheal extubation times and symptoms of residual paresis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialIlioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block revisited: single shot versus double shot technique for hernia repair in children.
We attempted to determine the efficacy of a one plane ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block with a single shot and double shot techniques. ⋯ The DS technique, while technically more difficult, does not improve the success rate of the IG-IH nerve block compared with the SS technique.
