Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Spinal anesthesia in cesarean section: 1% versus 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine].
To compare the quality of anesthesia produced by the intrathecal administration of equivalent doses of 0.5% and 1% hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing cesarian section. ⋯ No important difference was observed in the quality of the anesthesia obtained using the intrathecal administration of equivalent doses of 1% and 0.5% solutions of hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing cesarian section. In view of the possible relationship between the neurotoxicity of local anesthetics and the concentration of the solution used for spinal anesthesia, it is to be hoped that less concentrated solutions of hyperbaric bupivacaine will be introduced in Italy compared to the 1% solution currently available.

Clinical TrialPharmacokinetic profile of the induction dose of propofol in chronic renal failure patients undergoing renal transplantation.
To define the pharmacokinetic profile of the induction dose of propofol in chronic renal failure patients. ⋯ From the data gathered in this study, propofol can be considered a suitable anaesthetic agent for the induction of general anaesthesia in uraemic patients. In our opinion these data could constitute a basis for future protocols of total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol in uremic patients.

AIM. To evaluate the validity of general anesthesia using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in pediatrics in a series of 163 patients. MONITORING. ⋯ Measurement of every complication during and after anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS. In pediatric anesthesia LMA represents a good link between anesthetic equipment and the patient.
