Observational Study
Effects of surgery, general anesthesia, and perioperative epidural analgesia on the immune function of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
To assess preoperative and postoperative immune function in patients undergoing surgical resection of non-small cell lung cancer during general anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia. ⋯ Innate immunity is depressed in patients with non-small cell lung cancer after surgical resection, and immunity is not preserved by the use of postoperative epidural analgesia.

To measure the parameter of job satisfaction among anesthesiologists. ⋯ Improvements in factors related to job satisfaction among anesthesiologists may lead to higher early and current career satisfaction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The efficacy of automated intermittent boluses for continuous femoral nerve block: a prospective, randomized comparison to continuous infusions.
To determine whether an automated intermittent bolus technique provides enhanced analgesia compared with a continuous infusion for femoral nerve block. ⋯ An automated intermittent bolus infusion technique for femoral nerve catheters is associated with clinically and statistically significantly less IV-PCA use (ie, an opioid-sparing effect) than a continuous infusion technique.
