Background: The administration of intravenous lidocaine during the peri-operative period may improve pain management after paediatric surgery.
Objective: To explore the decrease in postoperative pain intensity and opioid consumption associated with peri-operative lidocaine administration in the paediatric population.
Design: A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and a Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) analysis.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the challenges of bleeding and blood transfusion during scoliosis surgery, particularly examining how factors like intraoperative fluid intake affect the need for blood transfusions in adolescents with scoliosis.!* -
- Conducted over two years with 200 patients, the research identified that a higher volume of intraoperative crystalloid fluid significantly predicts the likelihood of requiring allogenic blood transfusions.!* -
- The findings suggest a link between increased crystalloid intake and transfusion risk, recommending further studies to explore the direct cause-and-effect relationship between fluid management and blood transfusion needs in these surgeries.!*
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of prophylactic carbetocin with prophylactic oxytocin for preventing severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) following vaginal delivery.
Methods: This before and after cohort study took place between 2020 and 2021 in a university maternity hospital. In 2021, the protocol for PPH prevention immediately after vaginal delivery changed: intravenous oxytocin (5 IU) was replaced by intravenous carbetocin (100 μg).
Background: Muscle relaxation for tracheal intubation during paediatric anaesthesia remains a subject of debate.
Objective: The aim of the current meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of muscle relaxants (MR) compared with opioids on intubation conditions in children.
Design: Meta-analysis of randomised controlled studies.
Introduction: Postoperative maladaptive behaviors (POMBs) are common following pediatric anesthesia, and preoperative anxiety is associated with POMBs. A family-centered preoperative preparation workshop was instituted with the aim of reducing the incidence of POMB and preoperative anxiety, and the study was constructed to evaluate its effectiveness.
Material And Methods: A prospective cohort study was constructed, comparing patients who attended the workshop (workshop group) with patients who did not attend and who were matched for age and type of surgery (comparison group).
