Mechanical ventilation of pediatric patients in the operating room can be challenging. Even small changes in delivered volume can be a significant percentage of the desired volume and lead to unintended hyperor hypoventilation. Due to the unique physiology of children,the consequences of these unintended ventilation changes can be hypoxemia, hypercarbia and/or barotrauma. When using a tradition...

BACKGROUND The concerns for hyperoxia-related brain tissue injury are well known to the medical community. The cerebro-vasodilatory properties of sevoflurane may create relative cerebral tissue "hyperoxia" during inhalational induction as compared to a propofol-based intravenous induction of anesthesia. STUDY OBJECTIVES The objective for this case series discussion was to identify any differe...

BACKGROUND Tumescent local anesthesia is a technique for regional anesthesia of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue, using infiltration of large volumes of local anesthetic. The advantages of this technique are (1) simplicity, (2) prolonged postoperative analgesia, (3) low incidence of bleeding, and (4) anesthetization of a large area of the body. There are no reports on the use of tumescent l...

Aim: We aimed to evaluate anesthesia-related complications in pediatric patients undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA).

We present a review of smartphone applications (apps) available for pediatric anesthesia.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to test whether pre-operative visual information and parental presence had positive effects on anxiety, delirium, and pain in pediatric patients who awoke from general anesthesia in a post-surgical stage. METHODS This study used a non equivalent control-group post test design (n=76). Independent variables were provision of pre-operative visual information...

many of injured children will require surgical treatment with involvement of the anesthesiologist. the anesthesia providers may have to take care of pediatric patients on following occasions: 1- initial stabilization in the emergency department 2- providing sedation and monitoring for imaging 3- preoperative management of emergent surgical procedures such as laparotomy or craniotomy 4- manageme...
