Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparative effects of propofol, landiolol, and nicardipine on hemodynamic and bispectral index responses to endotracheal intubation: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study.
To examine the comparative effects of propofol, landiolol, and nicardipine on hemodynamic responses and bispectral index (BIS) changes to endotracheal intubation. ⋯ Landiolol, 0.1 mg/kg, before intubation provides effective hemodynamic stability in the postintubation period.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Radial plus musculocutaneous nerve stimulation for axillary block is inferior to triple nerve stimulation with 2% mepivacaine.
To compare the extent of sensory and motor block with two different nerve stimulation techniques in axillary blocks. ⋯ Radial plus musculocutaneous nerve stimulation showed lower efficacy of axillary block than did triple nerve stimulation when using 2% mepivacaine.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Postoperative analgesia after total hip arthroplasty: patient-controlled analgesia versus transdermal fentanyl patch.
To determine whether a new transdermal fentanyl patch (TFP) is a good choice for the postoperative pain management of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty compared with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). ⋯ Preoperative TFP application decreases pain scores and morphine consumption in the PACU and appears to have prolonged effects spanning the first 48 postoperative hours.

Case Reports
The use of continuous positive airway pressure during an awake craniotomy in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea.
We describe the anesthetic management of a morbidly obese patient with obstructive sleep apnea who underwent awake craniotomy. The patient's personal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine was used to support ventilation intraoperatively. ⋯ During cortical mapping, the CPAP was discontinued. The patient was comfortable and able to cooperate with language testing.
