Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Preemptive use of gabapentin significantly decreases postoperative pain and rescue analgesic requirements in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
To evaluate the comparative preemptive effects of gabapentin and tramadol on postoperative pain and fentanyl requirement in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ Preemptive use of gabapentin significantly decreases postoperative pain and rescue analgesic requirement in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

To provide evidence-based guidelines for the prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). ⋯ PONV are common after anesthesia and surgery. We provided evidence-based guidelines for the management of this problem based on the available literature.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Desflurane accelerates patient response during the wake-up test for scoliosis surgery.
To evaluate if desflurane possesses a shorter wake-up onset time and less incidence of recall than fentanyl-based anesthesia. ⋯ DES provides a significantly shorter onset time during the wake-up test and a rapid emergence after scoliosis surgery. BIS monitoring during the wake-up test was more informative when anesthesia was maintained with DES compared to FEN infusion.

The photochemical spinal-cord injury model reproduces extensive secondary lesions that occur after spinal injury. We have evaluated in 27 rats the functional, electrophysiological and anatomical consequences of a photochemical spinal-cord lesion induced before or after intrathecal injection of bupivacaine. ⋯ Twenty microlitres of intrathecal bupivacaine before or after acute photochemical spinal injury improves hindlimb motor recovery and SEP parameters in rats.
