Randomized Controlled Trial
The frequency of fentanyl-induced cough in children and its effects on tracheal intubation.
To determine if fentanyl-induced cough was dose-dependent in children and whether it could affect tracheal intubation. ⋯ Fentanyl at doses of one and two microg/kg may induce coughing in pediatric patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comfort and satisfaction during axillary brachial plexus block in trauma patients: comparison of techniques.
To investigate the comfort and satisfaction of patients with trauma of the upper limb during two different techniques of axillary brachial plexus block, electrical nerve stimulation and fascial pop. ⋯ In trauma patients, the fascial pop technique is effective, reduces sedation during axillary brachial plexus block, and has a higher patient acceptance rate than the electrical nerve stimulation technique.

Case Reports
Clinical course of pain in a patient with neuropathic pain induced by ligation of an intercostal nerve.
A patient with severe right chest pain and mechanical allodynia induced by an intercostal drainage tube to his chest is presented. It was not relieved by treatment with diclofenac sodium and was worsened by movement and touch to the right chest wall. Mechanical allodynia was also present. The patient's wrenching pain disappeared immediately after stitch removal, but the dull pain and mechanical allodynia persisted, gradually decreasing to zero in 7 days.

To investigate factors affecting parental satisfaction with a pediatric sedation service in a university hospital setting. ⋯ Overall satisfaction was high, and care provided by anesthesiologists was significantly associated with overall satisfaction. A site in our institution was associated with significantly lower satisfaction as a result of inadequate space and privacy.

To examine perioperative management and complications in patients undergoing pneumonectomy. ⋯ Fluid infusion volume, fluid balance volume, intraoperative total balance, blood loss volume, and blood transfusion volume were important intraoperative risk factors in the development of postoperative right-sided heart failure.
