Randomized Controlled Trial
Preemptive dexmedetomidine to prevent propofol injection pain in children.
The incidence of propofol injection pain is high in children, but no methods have been found to suppress it completely. This study intends to evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine-midazolam in preventing propofol injection pain in children. ⋯ Pretreatment with dexmedetomidine 0.6 μg/kg, then midazolam 0.06 mg/kg could suppress propofol injection pain in children.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Evaluation of the efficacy of transcricoid lignocaine as adjunctive local anaesthesia for fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
Optimisation of patient comfort during flexible bronchoscopy is achieved with the use of intravenous sedation and vocal anaesthesia. ⋯ The findings of the study demonstrate that the use of transcricoid injection of lignocaine provided a safe adjunct for anaesthesia in flexible bronchoscopy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty combined with oral appliance in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of UPPP combined with an oral appliance (OA) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). ⋯ The long-term efficacy of the combined UPPP and OA for the treatment of OSAHS was higher than that of pure UPPP treatment.
