METHODS
We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial of 50 children undergoing tonsillectomy at a university ambulatory
In a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over study the encephalotropic and psychotropic properties of sertraline--a new potent and highly selective inhibitor of synaptosomal serotonin uptake--were studied along with blood levels of the parent drug and main metabolite in ten normal healthy
Fifteen cancer patients receiving cisplatin-containing chemotherapy participated in two antiemetic studies. In Study 1 they received standard antiemetics in low doses on demand, and in Study 2 the same patients participated in an open randomized cross-over study between metoclopramide 1 and 2 mg/kg
BACKGROUND
Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the prehospital setting poses unique challenges where multiple ETI attempts are associated with adverse patient outcomes. Early identification of difficult ETI cases will allow providers to tailor airway-management efforts to minimize complications
The airway was managed successfully in two cases of difficult intubation using the Combitube, a new device for emergency intubation, which combines the functions of an oesophageal obturator airway and a conventional endotracheal airway. One patient could not be intubated due to lockjaw; in the other
Trauma patients requiring intubation at the scene of the accident were entered into a study from June 1985 to June 1987 to determine: 1) the success rate of intubation by flight crews and 2) factors important in managing the difficult airway at the scene. One hundred thirty-six patients were

Thirty patients, scheduled for short urological surgical procedures and ranked ASA 1 or 2, were randomly assigned to two homogenous groups. In group P, they were given a 2 mg.kg-1 bolus of propofol and 10 micrograms.kg-1 of alfentanil, followed by a continuous infusion of propofol (5 mg.kg-1.h-1)
Tetanus is caused by a neurotoxin (tetanospasmin) secreted by a spore forming gram-positive, anaerobic rod-shaped motile bacillus, Clostridium tetani. The most common symptoms of tetanus are trismus (100%), dysphagia (70.5%), dysarthria (35.2%), and neck stiffness (29.4%). Respiratory
