Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultra-low dose aprotinin effects on reducing the need for blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.
To assess the effects of ultra-low dose one million kallikrein inhibitor units (KIU) of aprotinin on bleeding and the need for transfusion after cardiac surgery. ⋯ Results indicate that the use of one million KIU of aprotinin in cardiac surgery is effective in reducing postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Single breath vital capacity induction of anesthesia with 8% sevoflurane versus intravenous propofol for laryngeal tube insertion in adults.
To compare the conditions for laryngeal tube airway insertion obtained by the inhalation of 8% sevoflurane using a vital capacity breath (VCB) technique with propofol intravenous induction. ⋯ We conclude that vital capacity breath induction with sevoflurane produces a faster loss of consciousness and fewer side effects than propofol and efficient for laryngeal tube insertion, but takes slightly longer than propofol due to the prolonged jaw tightness.
