Randomized Controlled Trial
Influence of injection rate of hyperbaric bupivacaine on spinal block in parturients: a randomized trial.
A prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial was undertaken to determine whether a tenfold difference in the rate of intrathecal injection of bupivacaine would affect sensory block level in parturients. Secondary outcomes included onset of block and the incidence of hypotension and nausea. ⋯ Rapid intrathecal injection of hyperbaric bupivacaine does not affect spread of spinal anesthesia or the incidence of hypotension and nausea in parturients.

To document tracheal intubation success rates and airway instrumentation times using the newly designed McGrath videolaryngoscope. ⋯ The McGrath videolaryngoscope is an effective aid to airway management in patients with normal airways, based upon intubation success rates and the ability to rapidly secure the airway. Its potential advantages of convenience and portability warrant further evaluation in comparison with other airway devices and in patients with difficult airways.
