Difficult and failed intubation in 3430 obstetric general anaesthetics.

30 Oct 2009 A retrospective audit was performed of all obstetric general anaesthetics in our hospital over an 8 year period to determine the incidence of difficult and failed intubation. Data was collected from a number of sources to ensure accuracy. A total of ... Read more...

Mathematical modeling of the pain and progress of the first stage of nulliparous labor.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Patient characteristics may contribute to the progress and pain of labor. Quantitative evaluation of the effects of patient characteristics requires robust mathematical models of labor progress and labor pain. METHODS: The authors ... Read more...

A randomized controlled trial of pentazocine versus ondansetron for the treatment of intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus in patients undergoing cesarean delivery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Ondansetron is effective for the treatment of intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus. There is evidence that kappa-opioid receptor agonists have antipruritic activity. Pentazocine is an agonist of kappa-opioid receptors and partial ... Read more...
