Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Postoperative analgesia with epidural methadone in patients operated for hernia of the lumbar disc].
To determine whether the direct application of a single dose of methadone on the dura mater at the end of surgery to repair a lumbar disk hernia provides effective analgesia over the next 24 hours. ⋯ Topical administration of 5 mg of methadone on the dura mater at the end of herniated lumbar disk repair is an easy, safe and effective technique for providing postoperative analgesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[The use of propofol in carotid surgery].
To compare two anesthetic techniques in carotid surgery. The first technique was propofol in continuous perfusion throughout the procedure (group A) and the other used etomidate for anesthetic induction and isoflurane for maintenance (group B). ⋯ The use of propofol for induction and maintenance during carotid surgery was as safe as conventional anesthetic technique with etomidate and isoflurane.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Analgesic effectiveness and repercussions on the progress of labor of small doses of bupivacaine and fentanyl in continuous peridural perfusion].
To compare the analgesic efficacy and repercussion on labor of early administration of two different concentrations of bupivacaine/fentanyl in continuous epidural perfusion, in comparison with a control group receiving no epidural anesthesia. ⋯ Both solutions provide good analgesia during labor with minimum undesirable side effects. Low epidural doses of bupivacaine and fentanyl started early do not affect the course of labor.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[The effects of carbonation on 2% mepivacaine in epidural anesthesia].
To evaluate the clinical effects of 2% carbonated mepivacaine in arthroscopic surgery of the knee. ⋯ Alkalinization of 2% mepivacaine delivered epidurally improves the quality of blockade, decreasing time until start of surgery. However, the slight clinical significance of these results does not appear to justify general application.
