Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Absence of analgesic effect of intravenous melatonin administration during daytime after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized trial.
To investigate whether melatonin administered intraoperatively reduced pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ The use of 10mg of IV melatonin administered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy did not affect postoperative pain or use of analgesic medication.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of epidural lidocaine administration on sedation of propofol general anesthesia: a randomized trial.
To examine the influence of epidural and intravenous (IV) lidocaine, and height of the epidural sensory block, on the dose of propofol required for induction of general anesthesia. ⋯ Epidural and IV lidocaine reduce the dose of propofol required to induce general anesthesia. Administration of lidocaine via the epidural route reduces anesthetic requirements more so than the IV route. Propofol requirements were further reduced in patients with higher sensory epidural block.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Optimal dose of succinylcholine for tracheal intubation in patients during inhalation induction with sevoflurane: a randomized controlled trial.
To determine the dose of succinylcholine during inhalation induction of a patient. ⋯ Succinylcholine at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg IV provided intubation conditions similar to succinylcholine at 1.0 mg/kg IV, and recovery of spontaneous respiration following a 0.6 mg/kg dose of succinylcholine was significantly shorter.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of prophylactic ramosetron and ondansetron on corrected QT interval during general anesthesia.
To evaluate whether ramosetron increases the corrected QT (QTc) interval. ⋯ The prophylactic administration 0.3 mg of ramosetron does not increase the QTc interval. Ondansetron 8 mg increases the QTc interval more so than 4 mg of ondansetron.
