Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Midazolam-sufentanil vs sufentanil-enflurane for induction of anaesthesia for CABG surgery.
To compare the effects of midazolam-sufentanil (Group I) and sufentanil-enflurane (Group II) anaesthesia on myocardial oxygenation and metabolism in patients with preserved ventricular function undergoing CABG surgery. ⋯ Compared with sufentanil-enflurane, midazolam-sufentanil anaesthesia resulted in comparable and acceptable haemodynamics and myocardial oxygenation in CABG patients.

Two modalities of epidural analgesia in children with two types of cerebral palsy (CP) were compared for differences in the incidence of common complications (inadequate analgesia, hypopnea, hypoxaemia, sedation, vomiting, pruritus, urinary retention, and seizures). ⋯ Continuous infusion of epidural bupivacaine and fentanyl provided excellent analgesia for children with CP without serious complications. Intermittent bolus epidural morphine was associated with a high incidence of excessive sedation and should be avoided in this population.
