Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia reduce inotropic requirements and creatine kinase-MB after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
To determine whether normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardioplegia preserve myocardial function, reduce inotropic requirements, and reduce markers of myocardial ischemia following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). ⋯ Normothermic CPB and cardioplegia reduce inotropic requirements and CK-MB following CABG.

Epidural anesthesia during hysterectomy diminishes postoperative pain and urinary cortisol release.
To examine the hypothesis that epidural anesthesia throughout lower abdominal surgery would depress both postoperative pain and cortisol release. ⋯ Epidural blockade prior to surgical stimuli and throughout lower abdominal surgery reduces the postoperative dynamic pain and stress response.
