Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the challenges of bleeding and blood transfusion during scoliosis surgery, particularly examining how factors like intraoperative fluid intake affect the need for blood transfusions in adolescents with scoliosis.!* -
- Conducted over two years with 200 patients, the research identified that a higher volume of intraoperative crystalloid fluid significantly predicts the likelihood of requiring allogenic blood transfusions.!* -
- The findings suggest a link between increased crystalloid intake and transfusion risk, recommending further studies to explore the direct cause-and-effect relationship between fluid management and blood transfusion needs in these surgeries.!*
Introduction: In 2015, a protocol including early laparoscopy-assisted surgery in the treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) was implemented at our institution. Carbon dioxide insufflation during laparoscopy may have an anti-inflammatory effect. We aimed to compare post-operative outcome after early laparoscopy-assisted surgery and classical laparotomy for NEC.

- Opioid-reduced anesthesia (ORA) was proposed to lower morphine use and chronic pain in adolescents undergoing surgery for idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
- A study compared two groups: one using traditional opioid-based anesthesia and the other using ORA, focusing primarily on morphine usage on the first day post-surgery.
- Results showed that the ORA group used significantly less morphine and experienced less persistent neuropathic pain after one year compared to the control group.
During the first Covid-19 wave, our paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), like many others across the globe, was transformed into an adult ICU for patients with severe Covid-19, due to a shortage of adult ICU beds. Here, we provide a comprehensive description of all the conditions that must be fulfilled to successfully accomplish this transformation. Strong support from all hospital departments was crucial, as their activity was modified by the change.

Material And Methods: The study consisted of a national survey about anesthetic practice during pediatric renal transplantation in France.
Background: Preventive strategies are available to reduce preoperative anxiety in children, the ideal time for implementing such strategies remains poorly determined.
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine psychological factors and events involved in the development of preoperative anxiety in children.
Methods: This study consisted of prospective evaluations of anxiety trait and state during the preoperative period.
Background: The anesthetic management of kidney transplantation in children remains somewhat empirical. The goal of the present study was to investigate intraoperative hemodynamic factors affecting posttransplantation kidney function.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of data from patients undergoing kidney transplantation in our pediatric teaching hospital from 2000 to 2014.
