Risk factors for a failed first attempt at pediatric subclavian central venous catheters and the role of single-attempt placement in reducing catheter-related morbidity: a prospective observational study.

Introduction: The aim of this observational study was to investigate the risk factors of a failed first attempt at pediatric central venous catheter (CVC) placement and its impact on CVC-related morbidity.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective observational study, we included 3-month-to 5-year-old children proposed for infraclavicular subclavian vein catheterization consecutively sing the anatomic landmark technique. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included single-attempt catheter placements, and Group 2 included failed first attempts at catheter placement.

Lateral versus supine position for tracheal extubation among infants after intraabdominal surgery: A randomised controlled trial.

In this prospective randomised controlled trial, we compared the impact of the lateral versus supine position for tracheal extubation among infants aged two months to two years after intraabdominal surgery on the incidence of respiratory adverse events that may occur after extubation. The anaesthesia protocol was standardised. Among the 120 infants included (60 in each group), the demographic and perioperative data were comparable between both groups.

Predictors of paediatric difficult intubation according to the experience of a university hospital in a low- and middle-income country: A prospective observational study.

Background: Difficult airway management is one of the main challenges in paediatric anaesthesia, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the main predictors of difficult paediatric intubation.

Methods: In this observational study, we included all children aged less than five years undergoing intra-abdominal surgery with endotracheal intubation.

Incidence of complications after nonoperating room anesthesia in children in a low- and middle-income country: A prospective and observational study.

Introduction: Nonoperating room anesthesia is a growing field of medicine that can have an increased risk of complications, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of complications after pediatric nonoperating room anesthesia and investigate its risk factors.

Methods: In this prospective observational study, we included all children aged less than 5 years who were sedated or anesthetized in the radiology setting of a university hospital in a low- and middle-income country.

Gastric metastasis and peritoneal carcinosis revealing primary breast cancer: an unusual presentation.

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women. Gastrointestinal tract metastases are uncommon and might be misidentified as primary carcinoma.A noteworthy case-study involved 53-year-old-woman complaining from epigastric pain, ascites and overall health decline.
