Objective: Evaluate the association of short-term tracheal intubation (TI) outcomes with premedication in the NICU.
Study Design: Observational single-center cohort study comparing TIs with full premedication (opiate analgesia and vagolytic and paralytic), partial premedication, and no premedication. The primary outcome is adverse TI associated events (TIAEs) in intubations with full premedication compared to those with partial or no premedication. Secondary outcomes included change in heart rate and first attempt TI success.
Results: 352 encounters in 253 infants (median gestation 28 weeks, birth weight 1100 g) were analyzed. TI with full premedication was associated with fewer TIAEs aOR 0.26 (95%CI 0.1-0.6) compared with no premedication, and higher first attempt success aOR 2.7 (95%CI 1.3-4.5) compared with partial premedication after adjusting for patient and provider characteristics.
Conclusion: The use of full premedication for neonatal TI, including an opiate, vagolytic, and paralytic, is associated with fewer adverse events compared with no and partial premedication.

Efficacy of melatonin vs. midazolam for oral premedication in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Minerva Pediatr (Torino)
December 2024
Department of Anesthesia, National University Health System, Singapore, Singapore.
Introduction: Achieving appropriate levels of premedication and parental separation is needed for smooth induction of anesthesia and prevention of perioperative complications. Both melatonin and midazolam are used for the premedication in children, but we do not have consensus on which premedication is superior among them.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of use of midazolam and melatonin as premedication in children aged 1-15 years was conducted.
Rapid Desensitization to Antitumoral Agents. Result from a Retrospective Study, DESARCh.

Article Synopsis
- Antitumoral drugs (ADs) can trigger hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs), and rapid drug desensitization (RDD) protocols are employed to safely administer these treatments at effective doses.
- The "DESARCh" retrospective study assessed the RDD protocols carried out at an Italian hospital over 11 years, including a detailed 5-step infusion method to reduce DHR incidence for patients with various cancers.
- Out of 66 RDD protocols for 25 female patients, the overall success rate was 81.82%, although carboplatin had a significantly lower success rate compared to other ADs, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Reevaluating antibiotic prophylaxis: insights from a network meta-analysis on dry socket and surgical site infections.
Evid Based Dent
December 2024
Centre for Biostatistics, School of Health Science, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
Data Sources: Three databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were searched in December 2021 for 16 Randomised Clinical Trials (RCTs).
Study Selection: Three reviewers reviewed the articles on oral antibiotic prophylaxis (ABP) for the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) and dry socket (DS) after lower third molar (L3M) extraction using the PICO framework. From 1999 to 2021, RCTs involving healthy patients undergoing L3M extraction with ABP, placebo, or no therapy were included.
Do patients receiving extracorporeal membrane-oxygenation need antibiotic prophylaxis? A systematic review and meta-analysis on 7,996 patients.

Department of Emergency, University Hospital of Udine, Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Friuli Centrale, "Santa Maria della Misericordia", Piazzale Santa Maria della Misericordia 15, Udine, 33100, Italy.
Background: Patients undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) are particularly susceptible to infections: 42% experience sepsis and 26% develop a nosocomial infection (NI). Whether antibiotic prophylaxis is effective in reducing mortality and its effects on the rate of NIs is currently unclear.
Research Question: Can antibiotic prophylaxis decrease 30-day mortality for patients on ECMO? Can antibiotic prophylaxis prevent the occurrence of NIs in these patients?
Study Design And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted.
Compact Arterial Monitoring Device Use in Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA): A Simple Validation Study in Swine.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
