Intubation using video laryngeal mask airway SaCoVLM and laryngeal mask airway Ambu® Aura-i in anesthetized children with microtia: a randomized controlled study.

The Ambu Aura-i laryngeal mask is considered to be a device for blind intubation as well as for fiberoptic guided intubation. The novel video laryngeal airway mask SaCoVLM is a supraglottic airway device that allows intubation under direct vision. We hypothesized that success rates for device placement and tracheal intubation with the SaCoVLM would be comparable with the Ambu Aura-i mask.

Dexmedetomidine Improves Non-rapid Eye Movement Stage 2 Sleep in Children in the Intensive Care Unit on the First Night After Laparoscopic Surgery.

Background: Previous studies have reported that children who were admitted to the ICU experienced a significant decrease in sleep quality compared to home. We investigated the effects of dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to sufentanil on the sleep in children admitted to the ICU on the first night after major surgery.

Methods: This is a prospective study From January to February 2022.

The Effect of Intraoperative Cerebral Oximetry Monitoring on Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and ICU Stay in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Aim: Determining whether intraoperative cerebral oximetry monitoring-guided intervention reduces the risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction remains controversial. The objective of this study was to conduct an up-to-date meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the effects of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO) monitoring-guided intervention on cognitive outcomes after cardiac surgery.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched using the related keywords for cardiac surgical randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) published from their inception to July 31, 2021.

Plasma metabolomics in the perioperative period of defect repair in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease.

The quality of life and survival rates of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH) have been greatly improved by defect-repair surgery and personalized treatments. However, those who survive surgery may remain at risk of persistent PAH, the prognosis may be considerably worse than those unoperated. Dynamic monitoring of clinical measures during the perioperative period of shunt correction is therefore indispensable and of great value.

Effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on delirium in adult patients following cardiac valve surgery: a protocol of a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled study.

Background: Delirium is an acute status of brain dysfunction that commonly occurs in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery, and increases morbidity and mortality. It is associated with risk factors, such as older age, use of narcotics, cardiopulmonary bypass, and hypothermia. Dexmedetomidine infusion might exert a neuroprotective effect.

Iridoid, phenylethanoid and flavonoid glycosides from .

As part of our continuing efforts to explore bioactive compounds from natural resources, a new iridoid glycoside, adoxosidic acid-6'-oleuroperic ester (), together with one known phenylethanoid glycoside () and two known flavonoid glycosides () were isolated from the fruit of . The structure of the new compound () was elucidated through 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data and HR-ESIMS. Interestingly, compound was a monoterpene ester of one iridoid glycoside.

Coarctation of the Aorta with Aortic Arch Hypoplasia: Midterm Outcomes of Aortic Arch Reconstruction with Autologous Pulmonary Artery Patch.

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) with aortic arch hypoplasia (AAH) is a relatively common congenital heart disease in clinical practice. Nonetheless, the corrective surgical technique for infants and children is a clinical problem that remains controversial. In this study, we sought to evaluate the surgical effects of aortic arch (AA) reconstruction with coarctation resection and aortoplasty with autologous pulmonary artery patch for infants and young children with CoA and AAH.

Hybrid balloon valvuloplasty through the ascending aorta via median sternotomy in infants with severe congenital valvular aortic stenosis: feasibility of a new method†.

Objectives: To evaluate a novel hybrid balloon valvuloplasty procedure for severe congenital valvular aortic stenosis in low-weight infants, performed through the ascending aorta via median sternotomy.

Methods: Eighteen infants (<90 days of age) with severe congenital aortic stenosis were included in this study. Hybrid balloon valvuloplasty procedures were performed in a hybrid operating room.

[The analysis of the recent effectiveness of the total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repairs on infants].

Objective: To review the efficacy of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair and to conclude the factors impacting the peri-operative death rate.

Methods: The clinical data of 145 infants under 1 year old who underwent the TAPVC repair from January 2001 to July 2008 was analyzed. There were 94 male and 51 female patients.

Strategy for biventricular outflow tract reconstruction: Rastelli, REV, or Nikaidoh procedure?

Objective: Three techniques have been developed as the surgical management for patients with anomalies of ventriculoarterial connection, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction (stenosis): the Rastelli, Lecompte, (REV), and Nikaidoh procedures. This study was designed to compare these procedures in terms of hemodynamics of the reconstructed biventricular outflow tract, early clinical consequences, and follow-up.

Methods: Between March 2004 and September 2006, a total of 30 consecutive patients underwent double root translocation procedures (modified Nikaidoh n = 11, REV n = 7, Rastelli n = 12).
