Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Evaluation of the cardiovascular responses to fiberoptic orotracheal intubation with television monitoring: comparison with conventional direct laryngoscopy.
To evaluate and compare cardiovascular responses to a new method of orotracheal intubation incorporating TV monitoring, with conventional orotracheal intubation via rigid blade laryngoscopy. ⋯ Insertion of an endotracheal tube may itself be the most invasive stimulus during intubation procedures.

To evaluate the effectiveness of forced-air warming compared to radiant warming in pediatric cardiac surgical patients recovering from moderate hypothermia after perfusionless deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. ⋯ Both forced-air and radiant heat were effective for rewarming moderately hypothermic pediatric patients. When core temperature was less than 33 degrees C, the instantaneous rewarming rate by forced air was 21% faster than by radiant heat.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of postoperative analgesic effects of preemptively used epidural ketamine and neostigmine.
To compare the analgesic and side effects of preemptively used epidural ketamine +bupivacaine, neostigmine +bupivacaine, and bupivacaine alone on postoperative analgesia after major abdominal surgery. ⋯ Preemptive neostigmine can be a good choice for postoperative analgesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Continuous intravenous diclofenac does not induce opioid-sparing or improve analgesia in geriatric patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery.
To assess the analgesic efficacy and perioperative opioid-sparing effects of adjuvant intravenous (IV) diclofenac. ⋯ Adjuvant IV diclofenac does not improve intraoperative stability or decrease postoperative opioid requirements in geriatric patients undergoing internal fixation of subcapital fracture of the femur.

To examine the relationship between social adaptability, cognitive abilities, and other personality characteristics to perioperative anxiety. ⋯ Anesthesiologists need to pay close attention to the families of pediatric surgical children who are socially maladjusted, shy and inhibited, and have anxious parents.
