Background: Fast-track recovery processes are implemented for pediatric day case surgery. We conducted a prospective study to evaluate postoperative comfort and parental satisfaction of children included in this process to improve quality of care.
Methods: We included all children scheduled for superficial procedures or dental treatment outside the operating room.
Objective/aim: To assess the impact of sevoflurane and anesthesia-induced hypotension on brain perfusion in children younger than 6 months.
Background: Safe lower limit of blood pressure during anesthesia in infant is unclear, and inadequate anesthesia can lead to hypotension, hypocapnia, and low cerebral perfusion. Insufficient cerebral perfusion in infant during anesthesia is an important factor of neurological morbidity.
Objective/aim: To assess the impact of sevoflurane and anesthesia-induced hypotension on brain oxygenation in children younger than 2 years.
Background: Inhalational induction with sevoflurane is the most commonly used technique in young children. However, the effect of sevoflurane on cerebral perfusion has been only studied in adults and children older than 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of amlodipine and perindoprilate on heart mitochondria during ischemia and reperfusion in pigs.
- Ischemia-reperfusion caused heart issues like tachycardia and mitochondrial damage, linked to oxidative stress and calcium overload.
- Amlodipine and perindoprilate helped prevent mitochondrial damage but only partially improved heart function during this process.
Perioperative management of a child with sickle-cell disease requires close collaboration between hematologist, surgeon and anesthetist. The level of preoperative preparation must consider both the surgical risk and the impact of the disease. Preoperative hydration and blood transfusion are the most important part of preoperative management.
