Recent changes in the Surgical Care Improvement Project guideline require blood glucose values be less than 180 mg/dL 18 to 24 hours after anesthesia end time after cardiac surgery. Our study compares the first group of patients transitioned off IV insulin on postoperative day 1, 24 hours after anesthesia end time, whereas the second group was transitioned off IV insulin on the second day, 48 hours after anesthesia end time. Results show no statistical difference in outcomes between groups.

Various regional analgesia techniques are used to reduce postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgeries. This study aimed to determine the relative efficacy of regional analgesic interventions. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched to identify all randomized controlled studies evaluating the effects of regional block after cardiothoracic surgery.

Anesthesiology, Nihon University School of Medicine, Tokyo, JPN.
Background: Several cases of pheochromocytoma presenting with hypertensive crises after anesthesia induction, possibly caused by rocuronium injection, have been reported. Rocuronium has two compositions: rocuronium bromide (RB) in sodium acetate hydrate/acetic acid buffer solution (acetic acid vehicle) and RB in glycine/hydrochloric acid buffer solution (hydrochloric acid vehicle). This study assessed the effect of rocuronium composition on the release of catecholamine from PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells.

Minimally invasive Ponto surgery (MIPS) enables the installation of percutaneous bone-anchored hearing implants (BAHIs) with a drill guide through a hole punch incision. Despite being well established for adults, there is a lack of studies in the literature regarding its use in pediatric patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the hearing performance and soft-tissue outcomes of the use of MIPS under local anesthesia in children with unilateral craniofacial malformation (UCM).
