A randomized trial of dural puncture epidural technique compared with the standard epidural technique for labor analgesia.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: We designed this prospective, double-blind, randomized study to examine whether a dural puncture without intrathecal drug administration immediately before epidural drug administration would improve labor analgesia when compared to a ... Read more...

Postoperative pain and analgesic requirements after anesthesia with sevoflurane, desflurane or propofol.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: General anesthetics may have nociceptive actions that affect postoperative pain. In studies evaluating postoperative pain, the effect of general anesthetics on analgesic requirements has not been considered except for one recent study ... Read more...

Parent/nurse-controlled analgesia for children with developmental delay.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Children with developmental delay are often unable to verbalize pain or advocate for themselves owing to cognitive, motor, or verbal limitations, which puts them at increased risk for poor pain assessment and management. Although ... Read more...
