The evaluation of endotracheal tube cuff pressure in pediatric patients by subjective inflation techniques: a prospective observational study.
BMC Anesthesiol
November 2024
Background: Cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) are commonly used in pediatric patients, with the gold standard for measuring cuff pressure being a cuff pressure manometer. However, this equipment is not always available in every operating room. Subjective inflation techniques, such as the minimal occluding volume (MOV) technique and the stethoscope-guided (Steth) technique, offer convenient and safe alternatives to standard methods but do not provide quantitative measurements.

- The study aimed to explore the effects of general anesthesia with and without intravenous (IV) access on operation time during ophthalmologic exams in young children, while also checking for complications and parental satisfaction.
- A total of 82 healthy pediatric patients aged 2 to 7 were analyzed, revealing that those without IV access had shorter operation times and significantly higher parental satisfaction compared to those with IV access.
- The results suggest that general anesthesia for eye exams can be done safely without IV access, resulting in quicker procedures and happier parents.
Background: Oxytocin is used for initiating uterine contraction and preventing postpartum hemorrhage during caesarean delivery. Using a lower dosage of oxytocin may lower the risk of adverse effects while still being effective in stimulating initial uterine contraction. We aimed to compare the effectiveness and side effects of the standard 10 IU bolus of oxytocin with those of a 5 IU bolus during caesarean delivery.
