Comparisons of surgical conditions of deep and moderate neuromuscular blockade through multiple assessments and the quality of postoperative recovery in upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery.

Study Objective: To determine the effect of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on surgical field conditions through multiple assessments during pneumoperitoneum and evaluate the effect of the depth of intraoperative NMB on the quality of postoperative recovery over multiple time periods.

Design: Prospective randomized study.

Setting: Operating room of a university hospital.

The effect of triazolam premedication on anxiety, sedation, and amnesia in general anesthesia.

Background: Benzodiazepines have been used preoperatively as part of an anesthesia regimen to attenuate the anxiety of patients. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of oral triazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, on anxiety, sedation, and amnesia.

Methods: Ninety patients, aged 20-55 years, were randomly assigned to receive no premedication, or to receive triazolam 0.

Impact of time interval between remifentanil and propofol on propofol injection pain.

Study Objective: To determine the most effective time interval between remifentanil and propofol (TimeRP) for the prevention of propofol injection pain in association with remifentanil dosage.

Design: Prospective randomized study.

Setting: Operating room of a university hospital.
