Randomized Controlled Trial
Nasal continuous positive pressure versus simple face mask oxygenation for adult obese and obstructive sleep apnea patients undergoing colonoscopy under propofol-based general anesthesia without tracheal intubation: A randomized controlled trial.
To determine if a nasal positive airway pressure (nasal CPAP) mask would decrease the number of hypoxemic events in obese and obstructive sleep apnea patients undergoing colonoscopy. ⋯ A nasal CPAP did not prevent hypoxemia and should not be used routinely for colonoscopy in obese or OSA patients if a simple face mask is an alternative therapy. However, potential advantages of its use include fewer airway maneuvers or interventions, which may be desirable in certain clinical settings.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Recurarization with magnesium sulfate administered after two minutes sugammadex reversal: A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
The current study tested the hypothesis that magnesium sulfate after reversal with sugammadex causes recurarization. ⋯ Single-dose magnesium sulfate led to a normalized train-of-four ratio < 0.9, 2 min after recovery from rocuronium-induced deep and moderate neuromuscular blockade using sugammadex. Additional sugammadex reversed prolonged recurarization.
