Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Observational Study
Posterior Tibial Artery as an Alternative to the Radial Artery for Arterial Cannulation Site in Small Children: A Randomized Controlled Study.
We evaluated the posterior tibial artery as an alternative arterial cannulation site to the radial artery in small children. ⋯ The posterior tibial artery is a reasonable alternative to the radial artery for ultrasound-guided arterial cannulation in small children.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Reversal of Vecuronium-induced Neuromuscular Blockade with Low-dose Sugammadex at Train-of-four Count of Four: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block that spontaneously recovered to a train-of-four count of four can be reversed with sugammadex 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg. We investigated whether these doses of sugammadex can also reverse vecuronium at a similar level of block. ⋯ Sugammadex 1.0 mg/kg, unlike 0.5 mg/kg, properly reversed a threshold train-of-four count of four vecuronium-induced block but did not prevent reparalysis.
