Background: The effectiveness of continuous wound infiltration (CWI) as a postoperative pain-control technique has been shown in many surgical procedures. This study investigates the effect of CWI of local anesthetic on postoperative pain control in intertrochanteric fracture patients undergoing hip nailing surgery.
Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 48 patients who were scheduled for hip nailing surgery were randomly assigned to receive ( = 24) or not receive ( = 24) bupivacaine infusion through a catheter inside the surgical wound, postoperatively.

Objective: Nausea and vomiting after surgery are the most common complications. Therefore, we performed this study to compare the effect of ondansetron and haloperidol on nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Patients And Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients candidates for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were allocated to haloperidol (0.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of labetalol and lidocaine in tympanoplasty surgery, specifically evaluating their impact on hemodynamic changes and perioperative outcomes.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 64 patients scheduled for tympanoplasty. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 0.
Background: Several adjuvants, added to local anesthetics, were suggested to induce an ideal regional block with high-quality analgesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the particular blocking properties of low-dose bupivacaine in combination with meperidine and fentanyl in spinal anesthesia during Cesarean sections.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted at Hafez Hospital affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) from February 2015 to February 2016.
Background: A number of different medications are used in combination with intrathecal bupivacaine for cesarean section anesthesia, but their relative efficacy has not been well established.
Objective: To study the relative efficacy of adding either intrathecal fentanyl, intrathecal sufentanil, or intravenous acetaminophen-morphine-fentanyl to intrathecal bupivacaine spinal anesthesia for pain control in elective cesarean section operations.
Methods: In this randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial, 105 pregnant women eligible for cesarean section received 10 mg intrathecal bupivacaine (0.
Background: Emergence agitation (EA) in children is one of the most common complications following anaesthesia. We aimed to compare the effect of ketamine, ketamine-midazolam and ketamine-propofol on EA after tonsillectomy.
Methods: This study was a randomised, double-blind clinical trial conducted on 162 children undergoing adenotonsillectomy surgery.
Background: Administration of an optimal dose of anesthetic agent to ensure adequate depth of hypnosis with the lowest risk of adverse effects to the fetus is highly important in cesarean section. Sodium thiopental (STP) is still the first choice for induction of anesthesia in some countries for this obstetric surgery. We aimed to compare two doses of STP with regarding the depth of anesthesia and the condition of newborn infants.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin on the serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-9 in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.
Methods: Forty-four patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery were randomly allocated into two study groups of melatonin (n = 23) and placebo (n = 21).
