Comparative Study[Predictive capability of the TCI Diprifusor system in patients with terminal chronic renal insufficiency].
To evaluate the predictive capability of a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system in patients with terminal chronic renal failure by comparing real drug concentrations with predicted concentrations. ⋯ The results indicate that the predictive capability of the Diprifusor pharmacokinetic model is acceptable in patients with terminal kidney failure, given the minor bias of 10% to 20% and the degree of accuracy between 20% and 40%.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Usefulness of tranexamic acid in cranial remodeling surgery].
To assess the usefulness of tranexamic acid (TA) in pediatric cranial remodeling surgery, by analyzing its effects on bleeding and transfusion requirements, number of days of cranial drainage required, and time spent in the postoperative recovery unit. ⋯ TA can reduce perioperative bleeding in the context of pediatric cranial remodeling surgery. TA-treated patients have less need of transfusion and this may reduce the rate of related complications as well a make care more efficient.
