*Does maintaining endotracheal tube cuff pressures at 20 mm Hg prevent dysphagia and hoarseness after anterior cervical spine surgery?*
A randomised controlled trial.

To determine if adjusting endotracheal tube cuff pressure after placement of a retractor during anterior cervical spine surgery prevents postoperative dysphagia. Furthermore laryngo-tracheal complaints (hoarseness and sore throat) will be scored.

Does Misoprostol facilitate insertion of an Intra Uterine Device (IUD), both copper-containing as well as levonorgestrel-releasing, among nulli- and multipara?

To investigate whether Misoprostol (compared to placebo) will diminish the amount of insertion failures. To investigate whether Misoprostol (compared to placebo) will diminish the amount of insertion related complications (eg. syncope, perforation…

PROtective ventilation with high versus low PEEP during one-lung ventilation for THORacic surgery - PROTHOR: A randomized controlled trial

To compare a strategy using high PEEP (10 cmH2O) with recruitment maneuvers versus low PEEP (5 cmH2O) without recruitment maneuvers, during thoracic surgery under standardized one lung ventilation with low VT (5 mL/kg predicted body weight - PBW) in…
