Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Hemodynamic response to intubation with Macintosh and McCoy blades].
The McCoy laryngoscope incorporates a modification of the Macintosh blade designed to facilitate laryngoscopy and difficult intubation. One end is articulated to allow better viewing of the larynx. Use of this blade reduces pressure placed on tissues in the supraglottic area during laryngoscopy. ⋯ The data obtained do not allow us to assert that there is any difference in hemodynamic response to LTI associated to type of blade used.

Comparative Study[Comparative study of the treatment of postoperative pain in function of the surgical service].
A high level of pain has been observed among surgical patients and it has been suggested that surgical specialty may be an important factor in pain, although no relation has been conclusively demonstrated. In this study we compared the characteristics of postoperative pain and pain treatment given in several surgical services. ⋯ This study suggests that type of surgery may condition the prevalence of and severity of postoperative pain. Although type of surgery and location are important factors, there are sufficient differences and deficiencies in treatment to explain, at least partly, the variation observed.

[Errors in bibliographic references in the Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación: retrospective study of 1994].
To evaluate the accuracy of bibliographic references in REVISTA ESPANOLA DE ANESTESIOLOGIA Y REANIMACION (REDAR) and compare it with other Spanish and international journals. ⋯ REDAR's rate of error in references is comparable to the rates of other Spanish journal, but it is nearly double that of international journals in anesthesiology with higher impact factors (Anesthesiology, Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia). An effort must be made by authors and editors to remedy the situation.
