Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Incidence of postoperative shivering comparing remifentanil with other opioids: a meta-analysis.
To determine whether the administration of remifentanil increases the incidence of postoperative shivering in comparison with the administration of alfentanil, fentanyl, or sufentanil. ⋯ Our meta-analysis showed that remifentanil was associated with an increased incidence of postoperative shivering compared with alfentanil or fentanyl, but no significant difference was seen when compared with sufentanil.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of nicardipine on the onset time and intubation conditions of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade.
The objective of this study was to identify the effects of nicardipine on neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium, such as the onset time and intubation conditions, using a nicardipine dose that attenuates cardiovascular responses during endotracheal intubation. ⋯ Pretreatment with 20 μg/kg nicardipine improves intubation conditions, shortens the onset time of rocuronium, and attenuates cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation.
