The 2024 revision of the Norwegian standard for the safe practice of anaesthesia.

The Norwegian standard for the safe practice of anaesthesia was first published in 1991, and revised in 1994, 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2016 respectively. The 1998 version was published in English for the first time in Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica in 2002. It must be noted that this is a national standard, reflecting the specific opportunities and challenges in a Norwegian setting, which may be different from other countries in some respects.

Determination of a new constant to estimate glomerular filtration rate in pediatrics.

Introduction: In pediatrics, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may be estimated by measured corrected creatinine clearance (mcCrCl) (mL/min/1.73 m2) or the Schwartz formula (eGFR = height/plasma creatinine x k). The constant k depends on the plasma creatinine determination method: k = 0.

Acute peritoneal dialysis, complications and outcomes in 389 children with STEC-HUS: a multicenter experience.

Background: Management of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with hemolytic uremic syndrome induced by a Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infection (STEC-HUS) is supportive; however, 40 to 60% of cases need kidney replacement therapy (KRT). The aim of this study was to analyze procedure complications, especially peritonitis, and clinical outcomes in children with AKI secondary to STEC-HUS treated with acute PD.

Methods: This is a multicenter retrospective study conducted among thirty-seven Argentinian centers.
