Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of conventional and fibreoptic-guided advance of left-sided double-lumen tube during endobronchial intubation: A randomised controlled trial.
Postoperative sore throat and airway injuries are relatively common after double-lumen tube (DLT) intubation. ⋯ The fibreoptic-guided advancement seems to reduce irritation to the airway, leading less postoperative complications.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of doxapram on time to tracheal extubation and early recovery in young morbidly obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery: A randomised controlled trial.
Bariatric surgery is a well established treatment of the obese. Postoperative respiratory failure and airway obstruction after bariatric surgery can often be attributed to the residual depressant effects of anaesthetics, sedatives and opioids. Peri-operative management of morbidly obese patients is still a concern for operating room professionals. ⋯ Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) http://www.irct.ir/ number IRCT2017060712203N9.
