TL;DR: This consensus document aims to report on new data and provide consensus-based recommendations relating to diagnosis and treatment of ITP in adults, in children, and during pregnancy.

TL;DR: The technique of randomized, double-blind sequential allocation was used to compare the minimum local analgesic concentrations (MLAC) of epidural bupivacaine and ropivACaine for women in the first stage of labour.

TL;DR: The evidence should be evaluated in the light of a possible 13% potency difference in molar concentration in favour of racemic bupivacaine in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sequential allocation study.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates a potency ratio of 81.2 (95% CI 73.0-89.7) for equivalence between phenylephrine and ephedrine in prevention of hypotension after spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section.

TL;DR: There was uniform adherence to a rigid anaesthetic protocol up to and including 1985, but a much publicised incident reported from the courtroom stimulated a relaxation of this regimen, and the incidence of awareness decreased, and that of dreaming was reduced.
