Anesthesia for laryngotracheal reconstruction in children: A narrative review.

Laryngotracheal stenosis, congenital or acquired, is a common cause of pediatric airway obstruction. Acquired subglottic stenosis frequently results from prolonged neonatal intubation. The clinical presentation of subglottic stenosis is variable, ranging from biphasic stridor and frequent upper respiratory infections to acute airway compromise.

How Do We Best Educate Our Patients' Caregivers? Comparing the Efficacy of Print Versus Media-based Education Materials in Peripheral Nerve Catheter and Pain Pump Education.

Background: Media-based educational materials (EMs) are becoming prominent. The purpose of this study was to compare print versus media-based EMs given to caregivers of pediatric and young adult patients undergoing surgery. We aimed to see whether print or media-based EMs lead to greater caregiver satisfaction, comfort, and preparedness for outpatient peripheral nerve catheter and pain pump management.

Femoral nerve catheters and limb strength asymmetry at 6 months after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in pediatric patients.

Background: The postoperative implications of single-injection femoral nerve blockade and femoral nerve catheter placement for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are not well defined among pediatric patients. Femoral nerve blockade may be associated with deficits in quadriceps symmetry at 6 months postoperative.

Aims: We compared outcomes after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery in pediatric patients who received either a single-injection femoral nerve block or femoral nerve catheter and a single-injection popliteal nerve block.
