Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparative efficiency of nebulized adrenaline and salbutamol in severe acute asthma. A randomized, controlled prospective study].
To compare nebulized salbutamol and nebulized adrenaline in acute severe asthma (ASA). ⋯ The results suggest that nebulized adrenaline is as effective as nebulized salbutamol in the ASA without significant side-effects. The nebulization could reduce systemic effects of adrenaline.

Meta Analysis[Use of ropivacaine for peridural postoperative analgesia].
To describe pharmacology and toxicology of ropivacaine. To assess the clinical efficacy of ropivacaine when used for postoperative epidural analgesia and to provide recommendations for clinical practice. ⋯ Epidural ropivacaine combined with opioid provide good postoperative pain relief. Reduction in the incidence of motor blockade and safe toxicological profile make this local anaesthetic a suitable alternative of bupivacaine for postoperative epidural analgesia.

Comparative Study[Training for adult subclavian venous catheterization: use of real-time echography].
To assess the training in adult subclavian venous catheterization of an inexperienced operator, with two different procedures: ultrasound guidance vs anatomic landmark technique. ⋯ Ultrasound guidance makes the training in adult subclavian venous catheterization easier, and allows inexperimented operator to be rapidly efficient. The use of ultrasound would decrease the incidence of complications by a real time visualization of anatomical structures, and by a more external approach of the vein than in the Aubaniac's technique.

Clinical Trial[Use of midazolam in postoperative sedation of patients with multiple organ failure treated with hemodiafiltration. Clinical study and pharmacokinetics].
Evaluate the risk of accumulation of midazolam and conjugated 1-hydroxy-midazolam in high-risk ICU patients treated by continuous veno-venous haemofiltration. ⋯ OH-midazolam risk of accumulation and significant clearance by haemodiafiltration should be taken into account in the drug adjustment in patients treated by continuous veno-venous haemofiltration.

We report a case of idiopathic brachial nevralgia of the right shoulder in a 30-year-old female, after caesarean section, under spinal anaesthesia. Two days after surgery, intense cervical pain appeared on the second day, associated with rapid collapse of muscular shoulder belt. Full recovery occurred in four months.
