Purpose: Opioids are frequently used to treat pain in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) with fentanyl, morphine and sufentanil being mainly used agents. Equianalgesic potency between opioids is not clearly described in the neonatal population. The aim of this study was to compare theoretical and actual equipotent conversion ratios between morphine, sufentanil and fentanyl based on prescriptions.

Background: Managing postoperative pain following median sternotomy has long been a notable challenge for anesthesiologists. The administration of postoperative analgesia traditionally relies on intravenous pumps for the delivery of opioids. With the development of regional block techniques and postoperative multimodal analgesia, pecto-intercostal fascial block (PIFB) has gained widespread utilization due to its distinctive advantages.

Introduction: This study aims to determine whether paravertebral block (PVB) provides better postoperative analgesia, lower incidence of complications and faster recovery compared with local anaesthetic wound infiltration for school-aged children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass via thoracotomy.
Method And Analysis: This is a single-centre, randomised controlled trial. We will enrol 100 children aged 6-14 years with atrial or ventricular septal defects scheduled for thoracotomy cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Introduction: Pain is common in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Intravenous opioids are recommended as first-line therapy for pain management; however, opioids have adverse side effects. Based on low-quality evidence, low-dose ketamine is therefore recommended as an opioid adjunct to reduce opioid consumption.
