Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Single-injection femoral nerve block with 0.25% ropivacaine or 0.25% bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement or anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
To investigate the effects of single-injection femoral nerve block (FNB) in postoperative pain after total knee replacement (TKR) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. ⋯ Femoral nerve block using 0.25% ropivacaine or 0.25% bupivacaine is an effective method of postoperative analgesia after TKR and ACL reconstruction, particularly for the first 10 hours after spinal anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Hemodynamic effects of 6% and 10% hydroxyethyl starch solutions versus 4% albumin solution in septic patients.
To compare the hemodynamic effects of two different concentrations of pentastarch hydroxyethyl starch (HES; 200/0.5) solutions with a 4% human albumin solution for fluid resuscitation. ⋯ HES is as effective as albumin for volume resuscitation in septic patients.

To investigate sevoflurane blood concentrations on loss of consciousness during single-breath induction and ensuing tidal volume ventilation. ⋯ The depth of sevoflurane after 9 minutes of ventilation of 3.5% sevoflurane is not sufficient to suppress intubation-induced hemodynamic response.
