Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Comparison of BIS and Ramsay score for evaluation of sedation with propofol in ICU].
BIS has not been evaluated for sedation in ICU. We examined BIS for evaluation of sedation with propofol in ICU. ⋯ The use of BIS for sedation could not improve the management of postoperative sedation in ICU.

Comparative Study
[7-year survey of anesthesia for cesarean section--comparison of tetracaine and bupivacaine as intrathecal anesthetic agents].
In our institution, spinal anesthesia is the first choice for cesarean section. After the introduction of bupivacaine in 2000 in Japan, the intrathecal anesthetic agent shifted from tetracaine to bupivacaine. We analyzed the anesthesia for cesarean section in recent 7 years and compared the anesthetic quality of tetracaine with that of bupivacaine. ⋯ Comparing these two intrathecal anesthetic agents, the rate of analgesic supplementation in those anesthetized with bupivacaine was lower than in those anesthetized with tetracaine. This suggests that bupivacaine provides the more profound blockade of the visceral pain than tetracaine, and is superior as a local anesthetic.
