Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Effects of CO2 and adrenaline on 1% lidocaine in axillary block].
To compare lidocaine hydrocarbonate and lidocaine hydrochloride, with and without adrenaline, in the axillary block obtained with a neurostimulator. ⋯ Considering the cost/benefit ratio and the absence of clinical benefits of lidocaine hydrocarbonate, lidocaine hydrochloride should be preferred.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Prevention of arterial hypotension during spinal anesthesia using intramuscular ephedrine in older people].
To assess the efficacy of intramuscular ephedrine for prevention of hypotension following subarachnoid block (SB) in the elderly. ⋯ Prophylactic intramuscular ephedrine is effective to prevent hypotension associated with SB in the elderly.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Combination of Emla cream and nitrous oxide for venous cannulation in children].
To assess the efficacy of an combination of Emla cream and N2O for venous cannulation in children. ⋯ Emla cream combined with nitrous oxide is effective for venous cannulation in providing satisfactory analgesia and in controlling anxiety elicited by the vision of needle.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Brachial plexus block: effect of the addition of sufentanil to local anesthetic mixture on postoperative analgesia duration].
To compare the quality and the duration of analgesia produced by a supraclavicular brachial plexus blockade obtained with a mixture of lidocaine and bupivacaine when supplemented or not with sufentanil. ⋯ Sufentanil added to a mixture of lidocaine and bupivacaine increases twofold the duration of postoperative analgesia following branchial plexus blockade.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Efficacy of ketanserin on postanesthetic shivering].
To evaluate the clinical and electromyographic (EMG) effects of ketanserin (K), a serotoninergic receptor antagonist (5-HT2), on postoperative shivering (POS). ⋯ At a dose of 10 mg, K administered in patients with POS during recovery, reduced significantly the duration and intensity of the shivering without noticeable side effects. This study suggests that this 5-HT2 antagonist is an efficient therapeutic tool for POS in adults.
