Post-operative discomforts in children after extraction of primary teeth.

Objectives: This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate discomfort after extraction of deciduous teeth under local anesthesia. The primary objective was to describe the prevalence of post-extraction pain (PEP), post-extraction bleeding (PEB), post-extraction biting injury (PEBI), and analgesic usage in children. The secondary objective was to define whether it is possible to determine a profile of patients or a type of extraction procedure predictive to PEP, administration of analgesics, PEB, or PEBI.

Early point-of-care focused echocardiographic asystole as a predictive factor for absence of return of spontaneous circulatory in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests: a study protocol for a prospective, multicentre observational study.

Introduction: Management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in France is performed by a particular prehospital system based on medicalisation of mobile intensive care units composed of an emergency physician and a nurse with all the required devices for advanced care. It follows the European recommendations which advocate for the use of early point-of-care focused echocardiography (EPOCE) in the prehospital setting. An ability of EPOCE may be to predict the absence of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in cases of absence of cardiac motion.

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Crude Versus Heparin-Bonded PTFE Graft in Below the Knee Bypass Surgery for Critical Limb Ischemia (REPLACE Trial): Design and Protocol.

Background: Although autogenous venous grafts are preferable for below-the-knee bypass surgery in patients with critical limb ischemia, some 20% of patients will have no suitable vein for grafting, compelling a resort to artificial graft materials. Retrospective subgroup analyses within published studies comparing heparin-bonded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with crude PFTE graft in below-the-knee bypass suggest that heparin-bonded graft offers superior long-term patency rates, but this has not been prospectively verified in patients with critical limb ischemia.

Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial in 20 French centers has been designed.
