Randomization in clinical studies

Chi-Yeon Lim, Junyong In

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2019;72(3):221-232.

Randomized controlled trial is widely accepted as the best design for evaluating the efficacy of a new treatment because of the advantages of randomization (random allocation). Randomization eliminates accidental bias, including selection bias, and provides a base for allowing the use of probability theory. Despite its importance, randomization has not...

Identifying the ideal tracheostomy site based on patient characteristics during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy without bronchoscopy

Jiho Park, Woosuk Chung, Seunghyun Song, Yoon-Hee Kim, Chae Seong Lim, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2019;72(3):233-237.

Background: We previously reported that percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) can be safely performed 2 cm below the cricothyroid membrane without the aid of a bronchoscope. Although our simplified method is convenient and does not require sophisticated equipment, the precise location for tracheostomy cannot be confirmed. Because it is recommended that...

Cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia during sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia in rats

Koji Sakata, Kazuhiro Kito, Naokazu Fukuoka, Kiyoshi Nagase, Kumiko Tanabe, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2019;72(3):260-264.

Background: Hypercapnia causes dilation of cerebral vessels and increases cerebral blood flow, resulting in increased intracranial pressure. Sevoflurane is reported to preserve cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity. However, the contribution of inhaled anesthetics to vasodilatory responses to hypercapnia has not been clarified. Moreover, the cerebrovascular response to desflurane under hypercapnia has...
