Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Brachial plexus block. Effect of low interscalenic approach on phrenic nerve paresis].
The aim of the paper was to determine the influence of the brachial plexus block on phrenic nerves paralysis in distal side of interscalenic space (between 1/3 medium and 1/3 inferior), with little volume of local anesthetic drug. Comparative, prospective, randomized study. ⋯ Brachial plexus anesthesia by low interscalenic tract, even using little local anesthetic drug volumes, like other supraclavear block techniques determines ipsilateral diaphragm paralysis.

[Anesthesia in single and bilateral sequential lung transplantation. Lung Transplantation Group].
Anesthesia for lung transplantation: intraoperative complications and long term results. ⋯ With a strong drug support with pulmonary vasodilators, positive inotropic and systemic vasoconstrictor drugs, in most patients we transplanted C-P bypass can be avoided. Intraoperative deaths were not observed. Two years actuarial survival is 65% for DLT and 60% for SLT.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparative study of the effects of morphine and tramadol in the treatment of postoperative pain].
To compare morphine and tramadol in the treatment of postoperative pain (POP), using a system of Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA). ⋯ Tramadol determines pain relief similar to morphine, with the advantage that it does not lead to abuse, tolerance or addiction.
