Anesthetic management of pulmonary surgery in newborns and infants.

The main congenital pulmonary airways malformations in newborns and infants requiring surgery are cystic adenoid malformation, congenital lobar emphysema and bronchogenic cyst. The surgical treatment preferably via thoracoscopy is recommended within the first year of life to avoid the risk of pneumopathy. A monopulmonary ventilation is then required by the surgeon to operate the diseased lung.

Rocuronium reversed by sugammadex versus mivacurium during high-risk eye surgery: an institutional anaesthetic practice evaluation.

Objective: This institutional anaesthetic practice evaluation compared patient safety with respect to residual neuromuscular blockade (NMB) at the time of tracheal extubation in patients undergoing high-risk eye surgery.

Methods: Two muscle relaxation regimens were compared: rocuronium administered via intravenous (i.v.
