There is an increasing trend toward performing craniotomy for primary brain tumor excision with local anesthesia. We report the use of the laryngeal mask airway as a part of an anesthetic technique designed for patients requiring awake cortical mapping during brain tumor excision.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Evaluation of the cardiovascular responses to fiberoptic orotracheal intubation with television monitoring: comparison with conventional direct laryngoscopy.
To evaluate and compare cardiovascular responses to a new method of orotracheal intubation incorporating TV monitoring, with conventional orotracheal intubation via rigid blade laryngoscopy. ⋯ Insertion of an endotracheal tube may itself be the most invasive stimulus during intubation procedures.

To evaluate the effectiveness of forced-air warming compared to radiant warming in pediatric cardiac surgical patients recovering from moderate hypothermia after perfusionless deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. ⋯ Both forced-air and radiant heat were effective for rewarming moderately hypothermic pediatric patients. When core temperature was less than 33 degrees C, the instantaneous rewarming rate by forced air was 21% faster than by radiant heat.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of postoperative analgesic effects of preemptively used epidural ketamine and neostigmine.
To compare the analgesic and side effects of preemptively used epidural ketamine +bupivacaine, neostigmine +bupivacaine, and bupivacaine alone on postoperative analgesia after major abdominal surgery. ⋯ Preemptive neostigmine can be a good choice for postoperative analgesia.
