Randomized Controlled TrialSpinal anesthesia with lidocaine or preservative-free 2-chlorprocaine for outpatient knee arthroscopy: a prospective, randomized, double-blind comparison.
In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study we tested the hypothesis that 50 mg of 1% preservative-free 2-chloroprocaine would provide a faster resolution of spinal block than the same dose of 1% plain lidocaine. ⋯ Intrathecal injection of 50 mg of preservative-free 2-chloroprocaine 1% resulted in quicker recovery of sensory/motor function, and unassisted ambulation, and fewer incidences of transient neurologic symptoms than the same dose of 1% lidocaine.

Randomized Controlled TrialQuality differences in postoperative sleep between propofol-remifentanil and sevoflurane anesthesia in infants.
Postoperative behavioral disorders are common in children, but the occurrence in infants is not yet clear. In the present study we focus on postoperative sleep disturbances, which we hypothesized would be more common after sevoflurane anesthesia than propofol-remifentanil anesthesia. ⋯ Postoperative sleep disturbances occur in infants after both propofol-remifentanil and sevoflurane anesthesia. Sevoflurane seems to be associated with less impairment of postoperative sleep than propofol-remifentanil in the first weeks after repair of cleft lip and palate in infants.
