Anaesthetic Management of a Neuroectodermal Tumor of Infancy: A Rare Case Report.

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is a relatively uncommon osteolytic-pigmented neoplasm that primarily affects the jaws of infants. We report a 5-month-old male child who presented with a swelling in the right upper tooth region of upper jaw in which we face difficult mask ventilation as well as difficult intubation. Wide surgical excision was performed under general anesthesia.

Atomised intranasal midazolam spray as premedication in pediatric patients: comparison between two doses of 0.2 and 0.3 mg/kg.

Purpose: Midazolam premedication administered by the intranasal route is noninvasive with good bioavailability. Atomised intranasal midazolam spray ensures accurate drug dosage and better patient acceptability, with rapid onset of action and virtually complete absorption.

Methods: Sixty pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgeries were administered atomised intranasal midazolam.
