Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of changes in blood pressure and airway pressures on parameters of fluid responsiveness.
Systolic pressure variation (SPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) are clinical indicators of fluid responsiveness. However, several factors may influence these parameters and thereby limit their usefulness. In this clinical study, we analysed SPV and SVV in comparison with static preload parameters during an increase in arterial blood pressure (BP) and airway pressure. ⋯ In cardiac surgical patients with preserved cardiac index, SVV, but not SPV, decreased during an acute increase in BP, whereas both parameters, in contrast to cardiac filling pressures, significantly increased with higher tidal volume.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The effect of remifentanil on the emergence characteristics of children undergoing FBO for bronchoalveolar lavage with sevoflurane anaesthesia.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of sevoflurane vs. sevoflurane and remifentanil on cough and agitation during emergence and recovery after fiberoptic bronchoscopy. ⋯ The addition of remifentanil significantly shortened recovery time in children undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy under sevoflurane anaesthesia. In the recovery period, remifentanil did not decrease cough, and increased agitation.
