Background: Using neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) in pediatric induction protocol is a challenging matter. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to find a safer way for anesthesia in children. We compared the effects of dexmedetomidine with atracurium on intubation conditions in children aged 6-12 years under general anesthesia.

Health equity in medicine is critical to improving safety and quality of care for all patients. In order to achieve this, it is important that anesthesiologists understand the social barriers that exist for our patients in receiving high-quality and safe care, also known as social determinants of health. It is also important to understand social vulnerabilities to alleviate their impact on health outcomes in perioperative care.

Article Synopsis
  • Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare neurological condition characterized by symptoms like headache, visual loss, impaired mental status, and seizures, often reversible with timely management.* -
  • It commonly occurs during hypertensive crises, renal issues, or immunosuppressive therapy, yet reports in anesthesiology are scarce.* -
  • A case of a 46-year-old male undergoing elective eye surgery developed PRES, leading to delayed emergence from anesthesia and blindness, underscoring the need for anesthesiologists to recognize and diagnose PRES promptly using MRI to prevent long-term neurological damage.*

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Ambu®AuraGain™, a second-generation supraglottic airway (SGA), in children undergoing surgery in both prone and supine positions.
  • The research involved 126 children aged 2-12 years, measuring oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) after positioning and noting any airway-related issues.
  • Results showed that OLP in the prone position was not inferior to the supine position, although more airway maneuvers were needed for the prone position, suggesting it may be slightly more challenging.
