We report the case of a five-day-old newborn with cyanosis. After exclusion of pulmonary and cardiac illness, methaemoglobinemia was diagnosed. Cyanosis is the first symptom of methaemoglobinaemia. Numerous causes of methaemoglobinemia have been described, with congenital and acquired forms, which are the most frequent. We discuss here the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of acquired methaemoglobinaemia in newborns with special emphasis on forms secondary to metoclopramide toxicity.

Digital monitoring of medication safety in children: an investigation of ADR signalling techniques in Malaysia.
BMC Med Inform Decis Mak
December 2024
School of Medical and Life Sciences, Sunway University, Sunway City, 47500, Malaysia.
Background: Digital solutions can help monitor medication safety in children who are often excluded in clinical trials. The lack of reliable safety data often leads to either under- or over-dose of medications during clinical management which make them either not responding well to treatment or susceptible to adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
Aim: This study investigated ADR signalling techniques to detect serious ADRs in Malaysian children aged from birth to 12 years old using an electronic ADRs' database.

Aims: This study aims to investigate the clinical practice of physicians working in obstetric setting toward postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery (CD) with neuraxial anesthesia.
Methods: We conducted this online survey to all active members of the Japan Society of Obstetric Anesthesiology and Perinatology (JSOAP), where leads academic society in obstetric anesthesia in Japan. The questionnaire was developed using the Delphi method.
Co-administration of Intravenous Drugs: Rapidly Troubleshooting the Solid Form Composition of a Precipitate in a Multi-drug Mixture Using On-Site Raman Spectroscopy.

Intravenous drugs are often co-administrated in the same intravenous catheter line due to which compatibility issues, such as complex precipitation processes in the catheter line, may occur. A well-known example that led to several neonatal deaths is the precipitation due to co-administration of ceftriaxone- and calcium-containing solutions. The current study is exploring the applicability of Raman spectroscopy for testing intravenous drug compatibility in hospital settings.

Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess gastric feeding intolerance for critically ill patients who received sustained neuromuscular blocker (NMB) pharmacotherapy.
Methods: Adult patients (>17 years of age) admitted to the trauma intensive care unit who received continuous intravenous NMB pharmacotherapy (rocuronium, cisatracurium, vecuronium, or pancuronium) for ≥48 h during continuous intragastric enteral nutrition (EN) were retrospectively evaluated. Gastric feeding intolerance was defined by initiation of a prokinetic agent (metoclopramide, erythromycin, or both) for an elevated gastric residual volume (GRV) >300 ml and with distention of the abdomen by physical examination, observation of regurgitation or emesis, temporary discontinuation of EN with low intermittent gastric suctioning, or initiation of parenteral nutrition (PN).
