Comparative Study Controlled Clinical Trial
Age-dependent relationship between bispectral index and sedation level.
To determine the relationship between bispectral index (BIS) and sedation. ⋯ BIS correlated with sedation depth, with BIS scores in group H than group M at a deep sedation depth.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Hemodynamic effects of 6% and 10% hydroxyethyl starch solutions versus 4% albumin solution 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.

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is the leading cause of transfusion-related mortality in the United States. Management is usually supportive, including supplemental oxygen, intravenous fluids, and mechanical ventilation if necessary. Most patients recover within 72 hours. We present a nearly fatal case of TRALI in an obstetric patient, which was successfully managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
