Introduction: Tibial somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) are used to identify the neurological status and tethered cord (TC) in patients with spina bifida (SB). Its significance in contributing to the interpretation of urodynamics to determine bladder status is unknown. This study aimed to determine the correlation between SEP and urodynamics in children with SB.

The aim of this study was to identify the properties and prevalence of inguinoscrotal diseases in these patients.
Methods: A questionnaire was completed by parents of patients with the diagnosis of SB in our center.
Changes in the cuff pressure in neonates in the absence of nitrous oxide.

Background: Changes in the pressure of cuffed neonatal size tracheal tubes (TT) during anaesthesia without nitrous oxide are not well described. We determined whether the cuff pressure changes over time in neonates under general anaesthesia without nitrous oxide.
Methods: The airways of thirty neonates were secured with a high volume low pressure cuffed TT for meningocele surgery.
Introduction: Both the Miller and Macintosh blades are commonly used during laryngoscopy in infants and children, although the glottic views have not been compared in neonates. This study compared the glottic views with the Miller and Macintosh size 0 blades in neonates when the blades were placed above and below the epiglottis.
Material And Methods: Forty anaesthetized and paralyzed neonates undergoing elective surgery were enrolled and randomized to either the Miller or Macintosh size 0 blade.
Article Synopsis
- Myelomeningocele is a severe form of spina bifida that often requires surgery in newborns, making follow-up care critical for assessing patients' growth and rehabilitation.
- The study involved 36 patients who underwent surgery, using posterior tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) alongside neurological exams to correlate with their clinical outcomes and ambulation levels.
- The results showed significant correlations between SEP findings and ambulation, lesion levels, and defect levels, highlighting the importance of electrophysiological studies in evaluating neurological development post-surgery.
