Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialPropofol-sodium thiopental admixture reduces pain on injection.
Propofol injection associated with a high incidence of pain is well known. Propofol and sodium thiopental mixture has recently been reported to be used for cost saving and able to reduce pain on injection. ⋯ Sodium thiopental, when added to propofol, can significantly reduce propofol injection pain. This attenuation effect was noted even with as low as 10 volume % of sodium thiopental.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffect of oral clonidine premedication on perioperative hemodynamic response and postoperative analgesic requirement for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
To investigate the clinical efficacy of oral clonidine premedication in anesthesia and analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). ⋯ Oral clonidine premedication helped to provide perioperative hemodynamic stability, spared the use of isoflurane and reduced the requirement of postoperative analgesia so as to smoother the way to recovery in patients undergoing LC.

Case ReportsTemporary hearing impairment after general anesthesia--a case report.
The incidence of hearing impairment after anesthesia is rare. We report a case who received left total knee and hip replacement and developed severe hearing impairment of the left ear after general anesthesia. ⋯ The hearing acuity recovered gradually and returned to normal 3 days later. The use of nitrous oxide during anesthesia was incriminated as the possible cause.
