The anesthesia information sheet used in our hospital describes the anesthetic management and complications in a simple style. Patients scheduled for operations receive it from their doctor with some explanation about anesthesia. The written informed consent on the sheet is obtained from the patients. ⋯ In view of this survey we concluded that reading the information sheet before the anesthesiologist's preoperative rounds is useful to increase the patients understanding of anesthesia.

We evaluated retrospectively the effectiveness of low dose colforsin daropate hydrochloride (CDH) in 12 patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Infusion of low dose CDH prevents the elevations of mean pulmonary artery pressure, right atrial pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure without reducing systolic bood pressure during coronary artery anastomosis. Cardiac output was significantly increased, and SVR as well as PVR were significantly decreased after the infusion of CDH. In patients undergoing off-pump CABG, we recommend infusion of low dose colforsin daropate hydrochloride from sternotomy to the end of coronary artery anastomosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Intraoperative autonomic nervous activities and postoperative analgesia when general anesthesia was applied using an opioid combination].

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Postoperative nausea and vomiting caused by epidural infusion following gynecological laparoscopic surgery: fentanyl and ropivacaine versus ropivacaine alone].
Patients who undergo gynecological laparoscopic surgery often begin to eat and ambulate soon after surgery. However, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) can postpone recovery. ⋯ We found that PCEA with ropivacaine alone resulted in a significantly lower incidence of PONV and did not disturb eating and ambulation following gynecological laparoscopic surgery, as compared to patients who received CEA.
