Teleconsultation in pediatric anesthesia: First assessment of feasibility, quality, and satisfaction in France.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the development of anesthesia teleconsultation in many countries. In pediatric anesthesia, data about anesthesia teleconsultation are scarce. The main objective of this prospective descriptive study was to provide an evaluation of the feasibility of pediatric anesthesia teleconsultation.

A follow-up of pain reported by children undergoing outpatient surgery using a smartphone application: AlgoDARPEF multicenter descriptive prospective study.

In pediatric patients, pain remains the most common complaint after surgery. This French multicenter epidemiological study (AlgoDARPEF) aimed to evaluate the use of a smartphone application (App) to assess the duration and severity of pain experienced by children undergoing outpatient surgery. Children younger than 18 years scheduled for an elective outpatient procedure in one of the participating centers were eligible.

Ventilation in pediatric anesthesia: A French multicenter prospective observational study (PEDIAVENT).

Introduction: Protective ventilation is now a standard of care in adults. However, management of ventilation is heterogeneous in children and little is known regarding the mechanical ventilation parameters actually used during pediatric anesthesia.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess current ventilatory practices during pediatric anesthesia in France and to compare them with pediatric experts' statements, with a specific focus on tidal volume.

Management of the child's airway under anaesthesia: The French guidelines.

Objective: To provide French guidelines about "Airway management during paediatric anaesthesia".

Design: A consensus committee of 17 experts from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Société Française d'Anesthésie-Réanimation, SFAR) and the Association of French speaking paediatric anaesthesiologists and intensivists (Association Des Anesthésistes Réanimateurs Pédiatriques d'Expression Francophone, ADARPEF) was convened. The entire process was conducted independently of any industry funding.

Development and validation of a risk score to predict the probability of postoperative vomiting in pediatric patients: the VPOP score.

Background: Few data are available in the literature on risk factors for postoperative vomiting (POV) in children.

Objective: The aim of the study was to establish independent risk factors for POV and to construct a pediatric specific risk score to predict POV in children.

Methods: Characteristics of 2392 children operated under general anesthesia were recorded.

[Allowing parents to enter the recovery room].

At Necker-Enfants malades hospital, the presence of the parents alongside the child during the immediate postoperative period has been allowed and encouraged for a number of years. In order to standardise the practices in terms of allowing parents to enter post-anaesthetic recovery rooms, nurses have drawn up a procedure to follow. In parallel, a study and a satisfaction survey have been carried out in order to measure the benefits of this approach for parents and for the child undergoing the operation.

Neonatal outcome of gastroschisis is mainly influenced by nutritional management.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate early minimal enteral feeding (MEF) and gradual enteral nutrition increment on neonatal outcome of gastroschisis.

Patients And Methods: An intervention group was prospectively assessed and compared with an observational historical control group. The prospective study relied on a new protocol of enteral nutrition.

Intestinal transplantation for total intestinal aganglionosis: a series of 12 consecutive children.

Background: Management of patients with total intestinal aganglionosis (TIA) is a medical challenge because of their dependency on parenteral nutrition (PN). Intestinal transplantation (ITx) represents the only alternative treatment for patients with irreversible intestinal failure for achieving intestinal autonomy.

Methods: Among 66 patients who underwent ITx in our center, 12 had TIA.
