Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Influence of bispectral index monitoring on fentanyl requirements during total intravenous anesthesia for major gynecological surgery].
To determine the influence that bispectral index (BIS) monitoring of hypnosis might have on need for analgesia during surgery under total intravenous anesthesia provided by bolus administration of fentanyl. ⋯ BIS monitoring of depth of hypnosis can influence requirements for fentanyl during total intravenous anesthesia by bolus dosing for maintenance of analgesia. This is probably due to changes in the administration of propofol made possible by BIS monitoring.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Axillary brachial plexus anesthesia. How many nerve stimulation responses do we look for?].
To determine whether axillary block with nerve stimulation involving the location of four motor responses is more effective than other techniques using fewer locations, without increasing patient discomfort or the rate of complications. ⋯ Locating 4 responses gives the greatest degree of assurance of obtaining full sensory block without increasing patient discomfort or rate of complications.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[The effect of propofol vs desflurane on recovery from anesthesia with remifentanil in outpatient surgery].
To compare the effect on parameters of postanesthetic recovery of propofol and desflurane administered with high doses of remifentanil for major outpatient surgery. ⋯ During anesthesia with remifentanil, the administration of desflurane is associated with better psychomotor recovery parameters than is propofol, but the rate of nausea and vomiting is higher with desflurane.
