Health Care Workers' Sick Leave due to COVID-19 Vaccination in Context With SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Quarantine-A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: Reactogenicity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines can result in inability to work. The object of this study was to evaluate health care workers' sick leave after COVID-19 vaccination and to compare it with sick leave due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and quarantine leave.

Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted at Regensburg University Medical Center and 10 teaching hospitals in South-East Germany from July 28 to October 15, 2021.

Electroencephalographic Narcotrend Index monitoring during procedural sedation and analgesia in children.

Background: The electroencephalographic Narcotrend Index (NI) may potentially help to titrate sedative medication during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in children.

Methods: With local ethics committee approval and informed parental consent, 31 patients, aged 8.9 +/- 4.

Physostigmine and anaesthesia emergence delirium in preschool children: a randomized blinded trial.

Background: A significant proportion of preschool children experiences severe emergence agitation after anaesthesia. The symptoms of disorientation, restlessness, inconsolable crying and thrashing resemble an acute psychosis similar to an agitated central anticholinergic syndrome. The primary aim of this randomized controlled study was to assess the efficiency of the cholinesterase-inhibitor physostigmine in these children and to identify adverse effects.

Impact of the Narcotrend Index on propofol consumption and emergence times during total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil in children: a clinical utility study.

Background And Objective: The electroencephalographic Narcotrend Index (NI) is a measure of the hypnotic component of general anaesthesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of Narcotrend guidance on propofol consumption and emergence times in children receiving total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil.

Methods: Thirty children, aged 1-11 yr, scheduled for paediatric urological surgery were enrolled.

The correlation of the Narcotrend Index with endtidal sevoflurane concentrations and hemodynamic parameters in children.

Background: The Narcotrend Index (NI) of anesthetic depth is potentially a pharmacodynamic measure of the effects of sevoflurane on the brain.

Methods: In this prospective observational study of 30 pediatric surgical patients (1-11 years), we investigated the correlation between nonsteady-state endtidal sevoflurane (eT(Sevo)), NI, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR). The performance of the Narcotrend for differentiation between consciousness and unconsciousness was evaluated using prediction probability (P(K)).

Severe anaphylactic shock without exanthema in a case of unknown latex allergy and review of the literature.

We describe a case of severe anaphylactic shock without exanthema in an 8-year-old boy who was undergoing elective surgery for an ileostomy. The boy had a history of four anorectal operations in the newborn period, but no history of allergies. Sudden, profound bronchospasm and cardiorespiratory collapse occurred 30 min after the beginning of the operation.

[Postoperative pulmonary function after lung surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in comparison to balanced anesthesia with isoflurane].

After lung resection, early extubation and the rapid return of the patients ability to cooperate is the predominant goal. Propofol anaesthesia is characterised by rapid awakening and recovery of cognitive and psychomotor functions and is consequently desirable for such operations. Experience so far in lung surgery, however, is limited.
