Pediatric Anesthesia Exposure: Decoding Its Neurodevelopmental Implications and Navigating the Nuances.

General anesthesia is fundamental in pediatric medical interventions, but its potential neurodevelopmental impact on children has raised concerns, necessitating a thorough investigation. This systematic review aimed to assess the association between pediatric anesthesia exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes, focusing on dosage effects and identifying high-risk groups. The study involved an extensive literature search across PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, selecting 40 relevant studies from an initial pool of 2,000, based on inclusion criteria that focused on children under 18 years exposed to anesthesia, excluding those with major comorbidities or perioperative physiological insults.

Management of Patients with Alagille Syndrome Undergoing Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Report of 2 Cases.

BACKGROUND Alagille syndrome (AGS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by 5 typical features: peculiar facial anomaly, posterior embryotoxon, chronic cholestasis, butterfly-like vertebral-arch defects, and cardiovascular malformations. AGS in a liver transplant setting is particularly rare in Saudi Arabia. This case report presents successful anesthetic management in AGS patients during liver transplantation surgery.

Factors impacting anesthesiology residents in Saudi Arabia when they are planning their future.

Purpose: This study is undertaken to examine the factors that influence Saudi Board anesthesia residents' preferences in terms of future practice location, fellowship training, and research.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data on fellowship training, research, and future practice location preferences, as well as demographics, were collected using surveys distributed to all anesthesia residents enrolled at Saudi anesthesiology residency program ( = 302).
