Randomized Controlled Trial
Electromyographic activity of the diaphragm during neostigmine or sugammadex-enhanced recovery after neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium: A study in anaesthetised healthy volunteers.
Reversal with sugammadex produces better recovery of diaphragm function than neostigmine reversal.

Comparative Study Observational Study
Arterial pressure waveform analysis versus thermodilution cardiac output measurement during open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: A prospective, observational study.
Arterial pressure waveform analysis enables continuous, minimally invasive measurement of cardiac output. Haemodynamic instability compromises the reliability of the technique and a means of maintaining accurate measurement in this circumstance would be useful. ⋯ Bias between arterial waveform and thermodilution cardiac output was within a predefined acceptable range, but the mean error was above the accepted range of 30%. Trending ability was poor. Arterial waveform and thermodilution cardiac outputs are, therefore, not interchangeable in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
