Study Objective: To cover pediatric emergency physicians' off-hours, third-year pediatric residents in Israel are trained for unsupervised administration of emergency department (ED) dissociative and deep sedation. We assessed the frequency of critical sedation events associated with resident-performed sedations.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review on all patients receiving intravenous sedation across 10 pediatric EDs between January 2018 and September 2022.

Background: Painful left bundle branch block (LBBB) syndrome is an uncommon disease that is defined as intermittent episodes of angina associated with simultaneous LBBB changes on an electrocardiogram (ECG) with the absence of flow-limiting coronary artery disease or ischemia on functional testing. Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of syncope and can be provoked by sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG). Herein, we report a case of painful LBBB syndrome complicated with VVS, which was misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome and cardiogenic shock.

Aim: To investigate the effect of 0.01% low-concentration atropine (LA) on quantitative contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) in children with myopia.
Methods: This paired case-control study included 90 eyes of 58 children who were sex-, age-, and refraction-matched and equally divided into two groups: the 0.

Background: To test the novel ultrasound (US)-guided bilateral anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLBA) at the lateral supra-arcuate ligament (supra-LAL) technique combined with postoperative intravenous analgesia was a viable alternative approach of conventional thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) for laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG).
Methods: Three hundred and four patients scheduled for LRG were randomized 1:1 into QLBA group: receiving a novel pathway of US-guided bilateral QLBA at the supra-LAL before general anesthesia (GA) and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery, and TEA group: receiving TEA before GA and patient-controlled epidural analgesia following surgery. The difference in procedure time between the treatment groups was set as the primary endpoint.
