Efficacy and Safety in the Implantation of Totally Implantable Venous Access Devices by Anesthesiologists: Perspectives From a Retrospective Oncology Cohort.

Background: Totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) are widely used in oncology patients to facilitate central venous access. Although they offer benefits, TIVADs can be associated with complications.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all oncology patients 18 years or older who underwent TIVAD implantation between September 2015 and October 2019.

Effect of Repeated Exposure to Sevoflurane on Electroencephalographic Alpha Oscillation in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Pharmacological tolerance is defined as a decrease in the effect of a drug over time, or the need to increase the dose to achieve the same effect. It has not been established whether repeated exposure to sevoflurane induces tolerance in children.

Methods: We conducted an observational study in children younger than 6 years of age scheduled for multiple radiotherapy sessions with sevoflurane anesthesia.

Latin American surgical outcomes study: study protocol for a multicentre international observational cohort study of patient outcomes after surgery in Latin American countries.

Background: Reported data suggest that 4.2 million deaths will occur within 30 days of surgery worldwide each year, half of which are in low- and middle-income countries. Postoperative complications are a leading cause of long-term morbidity and mortality.

Techniques and Complications of Anesthesia in Pediatric Radiotherapy: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Anesthesia during pediatric external beam radiation therapy poses a challenge, as radiotherapy rooms are not designed for the administration of anesthesia.

Aims: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children who underwent radiation therapy to describe the anesthetic approach and assess anesthetic-related complications.

Materials And Methods: Data of all, who underwent radiation therapy under general anesthesia between November 2019 and January 2021, were recorded.
