Risk factors for anesthesia-associated postoperative capillary leakage after thoracoscopic surgery in neonates: A single-center observational study.

Background: Thoracoscopy is considered the surgical method of choice for addressing a wide range of conditions in neonates. However, there is a lack of experience in anesthesia management for this procedure. On reviewing the newborns who had undergone thoracoscopic surgery at our medical center, some had developed edema after surgery.

Fourth thoracic vertebra as landmark for depth of right internal jugular vein catheterization in infants.

The carina is considered a reliable marker for the depth of right internal jugular vein catheterization in infants on chest radiograph. In adult anatomy, the carina is typically located at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra. We are not aware of a positional relationship between infant carina and thoracic vertebrae.

The Real-Time and Patient-Specific Prediction for Duration and Recovery Profile of Cisatracurium Based on Deep Learning Models.

During general anesthesia, how to judge the patient's muscle relaxation state has always been one of the most significant issues for anesthesiologists. Train-of-four ratio (TOFR) monitoring is a standard method, which can only obtain static data to judge the current situation of muscle relaxation. Cisatracurium is a nondepolarizing benzylisoquinoline muscle relaxant.

Effects of Intraperitoneal and Intrathecal Morphine Analgesia on the Expression of μ-Opioid Receptors in Bone Cancer Pain Rats.

Backgrounds: This study compared analgesic effects and μ-opioid receptor expression levels during long-term intraperitoneal and intrathecal treatment in a bone cancer pain rat.

Methods: Twenty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats were injected Walker 256 tumor cells into the femur to create a bone cancer pain model. The control group was injected with saline intraperitoneally and intrathecally.
