Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Pre- and intraoperative epidural ropivacaine have no early preemptive analgesic effect in major gynecological tumour surgery.
Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is an established technique for postoperative pain relief after major abdominal surgery. However it is still under discussion whether pre-incisional TEA can reduce postoperative pain perception or postoperative analgesic consumption. ⋯ Intraoperative TEA with ropivacaine 0.375% did not significantly reduce the amount of analgesics required after major abdominal gynecological tumour surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Intrathecal morphine provides better postoperative analgesia than psoas compartment block after primary hip arthroplasty.
Intrathecal morphine and psoas compartment block represent two accepted techniques to provide postoperative analgesia after hip arthroplasty. We designed a prospective, randomized, single-blinded study to compare these two techniques. ⋯ 0.1 mg intrathecal morphine administration provides better postoperative analgesia than single-shot psoas compartment block after primary hip arthroplasty.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia without muscle relaxants allow the early extubation of myasthenic patients.
To compare two non-muscle relaxant anesthetic techniques in myasthenic patients undergoing trans-sternal thymectomy, evaluating the intra- and postoperative conditions including the early extubation in the operating room. ⋯ Our data show that these two anesthetic techniques allow the early extubation of myasthenic patients in the operating room.
