We experienced a case of inadequate sedation because of inappropriate use of TCI system for fentanyl. ⋯ When the administration time is short, the anesthesiologist must be aware of the difficulty in distinguishing the human error of choosing one drug for the TCI system for another drug.

No data are available for diltiazem on muscle function (contractility and electomyographic activity) of non-fatigued diaphragm. ⋯ Diltiazem, at doses below 0.5 mg.kg-1.h-1, does not affect contractility and electromyographic activity of non-fatigued canine diaphragm.

Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
[Nicorandil reduces incidence and severity of pain on propofol injection].
Propofol is commonly used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, but the pain during injection of propofol remains a clinical problem. We studied whether nicorandil prevents the pain on propofol injection. ⋯ Nicorandil reduces the incidence and severity of pain on propofol injection.

Comparative Study
[The cracks of polycarbonate three-way stopcocks are enhanced by the lubricating action of fat emulsion of propofol].
The possible mechanism of cracks in the polycarbonate three-way stopcocks was investigated in the presence of propofol. We compared the crack formations with various insertion force and contact surface conditions. We could successfully reproduce overt cracks with leakage in three-way stopcocks when the male adaptors were strongly inserted and the contact surface was damped with propofol. ⋯ The male connector is more deeply inserted into the female three-way stopcock at the same insertion force when contact surface is damped with propofol. When propofol is present, the release force is not enhanced further while insertion force is increased. We conclude that the cracks in three-way stopcocks are enhanced by the increased expansion force by the lubricating action of propofol fat emulsion.

Comparative Study
[Comparison of requirement for postoperative analgesics after inhalation and total intravenous anesthesia].
We evaluated the requirement for postoperative analgesics in 88 patients undergoing abdominal total hysterectomy with inhalation anesthesia or with total intravenous anesthesia. ⋯ The postoperative pain can be reduced with TIVA.
