Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexmedetomidine in anesthesia of children submitted to videolaparoscopic appendectomy: a double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled study.
To evaluate the hemodynamic responses to nociceptive stimuli in children submitted to videolaparoscopic appendectomy under balanced anesthesia with isoflurane and dexmedetomidine. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine combined with inhaled isoflurane for anesthesia of children submitted to videolaparoscopic appendectomy, efficiently blocks the hemodynamic responses to nociceptive stimuli. When compared to placebo, the use of dexmedetomidine did not change the need for supplemental doses of fentanyl for maintenance of hemodynamic parameters during the intraoperative period.

Evaluate the factors influencing blood glucose control of type 2 diabetic patients attended at a tertiary health care center. ⋯ A small part of the sample simultaneously achieved the goals for blood glucose, lipids and blood pressure control. Some factors, such as age and gender can be determinants to achieve control of diabetes. Greater efforts are still needed to achieve the goals for treatment in type 2 diabetic patients.
