Ketamine gargle significantly reduced the incidence and severity of POST.

Background. Different methods and propofol formulations have been used to decrease propofol injection pain, but it remains an unresolved problem. We aimed to investigate the effect of i.v. acetaminophen pretreatment on the propofol injection pain.

Low dose ketamine given i.v. or by peritonsillar infiltration perioperatively provides efficient pain relief without side-effects in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

BACKGROUND In search of an optimal drug for I-gel insertion, in our study, we have compared two group of drugs dexmedetomidine with propofol and fentanyl with propofol.

To compare the effects of crystalloid and colloid solutions, tranexamic acid and epsilon-aminocaproic acid on the need for allogenic blood transfusion and on coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters.

Topical ketamine and morphine seems to be a safe and easy analgesic approach for decreasing adenotonsillectomy pain.

Our data suggest that noncommunicative/nonverbal children with CP require less propofol to obtain the same BIS values (i.e. 35-45) than do otherwise healthy children.
