Prenatal repair of myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with lower rates of hydrocephalus requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt and improved motor function when compared with postnatal repair. Efforts aiming to develop less invasive surgical techniques to decrease the risk for the pregnant patient while achieving similar benefits for the fetus have led to the implementation of fetoscopic surgical techniques. While no ideal anesthetic technique for fetoscopic MMC repair has been demonstrated, we present our anesthetic approach for these repairs, including considerations for both the pregnant patient and the fetus.

Study Design: This was a retrospective study of all courses of indomethacin and acetaminophen.
Background: Telemedicine is increasingly used within healthcare worldwide. More is known about its efficacy in treating different conditions and its application to different contexts than about service-users' and practitioners' experiences or how best to support implementation.
Aims: To review adult service-users' experiences of synchronous video consultations with nurses, allied health professionals and psychological therapists, find out how consultations impact different groups of service-users and identify requirements for their conduct at individual, organisational, regional, and national levels.
Article Synopsis
- - Atypical antipsychotics are increasingly used in the NICU to manage neonatal delirium, but caution is needed due to potential adverse effects like neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).
- - NMS is a rare but serious reaction to antipsychotics, primarily seen in older children, but this case report highlights its occurrence in a 10-month-old infant treated with olanzapine.
- - Symptoms of NMS include hyperthermia and mental status changes, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and management when prescribing antipsychotics to infants.
