Introduction: Neonatal and infant anaesthesia are associated with a high risk of perioperative complications. The aim of the current study was to describe those risks in France using the French data from the NECTARINE study.
Material And Methods: Data from the French centres that participated to the NECTARINE study were analysed.

Methods: We compared two consecutive cohorts of patients before and after introducing this technique in our institution. Management of patients was standardized.
Objectives: The main objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the accuracy of the Sleep-Related Breathing Disorder (SRBD) Scale in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children.
Patients/methods: A literature search of studies comparing SRBD to polysomnography for the diagnosis of OSAS in children was performed. Risks of biases were quantified using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS) tool.

Background: No data exist evaluating the utilization and safety of outpatient thoracoscopy in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of outpatient thoracoscopy and to assess parental opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of a pediatric thoracoscopy outpatient setting.
Methods: A retrospective review of data from patients treated by thoracoscopy for congenital pulmonary malformation between 2013 and 2016 was performed.
Minimally invasive surgery during abdominal, thoracic and urological procedures has become the standard management of many surgical interventions in adults. Recent development of smaller devices has allowed the management of many paediatric surgeries using these minimally invasive techniques. However, the lack of knowledge of (a) adequate management of haemodynamic and respiratory alterations occurring during those procedures and (b) postoperative advantages of these techniques over open surgeries, still impairs their development.

Methods: From September 2007 to May 2016, 101 patients underwent a thoracoscopic pulmonary resection of which 83 for CPAM (lobectomy, wedge resection or sequestrectomy).
Background: Muscle relaxation for tracheal intubation during paediatric anaesthesia remains a subject of debate.
Objective: The aim of the current meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of muscle relaxants (MR) compared with opioids on intubation conditions in children.
Design: Meta-analysis of randomised controlled studies.
Introduction: Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has sedative, analgesic, and anesthetic-sparing effects. This meta-analysis examines demonstrated intraoperative and postoperative effects of intraoperative Dex administration during pediatric surgery.
Methods: A search for randomized placebo-controlled trials was conducted to identify clinical trials examining intraoperative Dex use in children, infants, and neonates.
