Objective: Intravenous ibuprofen is used to control fever and pain. This study aimed to assess the analgesic effects of the addition of intravenous ibuprofen to a multimodal analgesia regimen for pain management after pediatric cardiac surgery.
Design: A randomized, controlled, double-blinded, superiority study.
Background: In neonates, percutaneous central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is often a challenging technique. Recent reports have reported the efficacy of ultrasound (US) guidance when performing such an intervention. We conducted this study to compare US-guided and minimal surgical CVC insertion regarding time and ease of insertion, reliability, and complications.

Although obesity is considered as a risk factor for difficult airway management, failure to achieve effective bag mask ventilation (BMV) can be catastrophic. This study tried to assess the effect of both propofol and sevoflurane on the efficacy of BMV during anesthetic induction in obese patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of inhaled versus intravenous levosimendan in lowering elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in young children scheduled for cardiac surgery.
- Both methods were found to reduce high PAP similarly, but intravenous levosimendan led to higher heart rates and required more medication to stabilize blood pressure.
- Inhaled levosimendan was deemed non-inferior to the intravenous option, offering benefits like less tachycardia, less hypotension, and a reduced need for vasoactive drugs.
Background: Inflow occlusion of the portal triad is a common blood loss-reducing method during hepatectomy which may induce ischemic-reperfusion injury of the remaining parts of the liver. Dexmedetomidine is used for reducing ischemic-reperfusion injury in hepatectomy.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on liver after partial hepatectomy using inflow occlusion.
Background: Lumbar puncture is a difficult medical skill and is used for administering subarachnoid anesthetic medications. Estimation of skin to subarachnoid space depth (SSD) helps to reduce post spinal anesthetic complications.
Aims: To measure the SDD in overall Egyptian population and to find a formula for predicting SSD in Egyptian patients.
