Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[The effect of anesthetic technique on recovery from neuromuscular blockade with cisatracurium].
To assess the effect of four anesthetic techniques on recovery after a single dose of 0.2 mg/kg of cisatracurium. ⋯ The inhaled anesthetics studied prolong the duration of clinical effect of cisatracurium more than does propofol.

Comparative Study[Expected versus real impact factors of publications from Spanish departments of anesthesiology (1991-1996)].
To identify publications by Spanish anesthesiologists in journals indexed by Journal Citation Report from 1991 through 1996; to count the number of citations received and compare the results with the impact factor (IF) of the journals in which they were published. ⋯ Research by Spanish anesthesiologists is concentrated in only a few hospitals. Although the number of publications is increasing, their international repercussion has still not reached the desired level.

Case Reports[Malignant hyperthermia in a pig anesthesized with desflurane].
A large-white pig that had not been genetically selected to develop malignant hyperthermia (MH) during anesthesia nevertheless suffered an episode of severe MH after repeated exposure to increasing concentrations of desflurane. MH is a hypermetabolic alteration that may develop in susceptible patients who have inhaled certain drugs or agents that act as triggers. Early identification and appropriate treatment are essential to reduce the likelihood of death associated with this severe alteration. We report a case of late-developing MH triggered by low concentrations of inhaled desflurane.
