Case Studies in Neuroscience: Transcranial Doppler assessment of increased cerebral blood flow during iterative seizures.

This case study aimed at monitoring ictal vasodilation in a clinical setting to confirm the experimental data on enhanced cerebral perfusion during epileptic seizures. Clinical observation of a patient presenting relapsing seizures in the intensive care unit. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) was used to monitor both blood velocities and the arterial caliber in the B-flow mode as a proxy of blood flow of the middle cerebral artery (MCA).

Reducing the time to successful intravenous cannulation in anaesthetised children with poor vein visibility using a near-infrared device: A randomised multicentre trial.

Background: During inhalational induction of anaesthesia for children, severe respiratory events can occur but can be rapidly treated once intravenous access is in place. Reducing the time to successful cannulation during inhalational induction for children with poor vein visibility would improve safety.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of a near-infrared (NIR) vascular imaging device (Veinviewer) to facilitate intravenous cannulation.
