Filter by:Children have a highly compliant chest wall and atelectasis formation occurs often during pediatric anesthesia. Inhalation induction is commonly performed in pediatric anesthesia but it is still unclear if this can have an effect on the development of atelectasis. Aim of this study is to investigate the impact of inhalation versus intravenous induction on atelectasis formation during anesthesia induction in children. Atelectasis will be evaluated with lung ultrasound before induction and right after induction.
The effect of low dose nalbuphine or ketamine in the prevention of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in children undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. This randomized double-blind study was carried out at, Ain shams University Hospitals, from March 2021 to June 2021 on 90 patients after approval of the ethical committee.
Needle-free injection systems can contribute to the prevention of needle-related pain during palatal infiltration anesthesia (PIA) in children. Research with this topic on children is required.The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the needle-free system versus traditional anesthesia on pain perception during PIA in children.The study was designed as a randomized, controlled cross-over clinical study with 48 children aged 6 to 12 years requiring dental treatment with PIA in bilateral maxillary primary molars. It has been revealed that the application of a needle-free system during PIA ensured a decrease in pain perception in children.
Ultrasound (US) has facilitated the use of caudal block in children and visualization of the needle during insertion. This prospective clinical trial study compares between two different sizes of the used needles, in terms of success rate, number of punctures, detection of the US signs (visualization of the needle, dural displacement, turbulence, and distention), and complications in pediatrics aging between 6-36 months requiring elective lower abdominal and perineal surgeries.
This study investigates cardiac output in young children under 18 months of age during the perioperative period by means of electrical cardiometry.
The purpose of this study was to compare the pain during needle insertion and injection in mandibular molars anesthetized with either traditional syringe (control) or Comfort in System (experimental).
Study participants will be shown an illustrated training video demonstrating and explaining the RST. The video may be reviewed until the participant feels confident to perform procedure. The Rapid Sequence Tracheostomy (RST) consists of the following steps: 1. Orientational palpation and vertical midline skin incision followed by separation of the strap muscles 2. Exposure of the trachea and cricoid followed by anterior luxation of the trachea with a Backhaus towel clamp 3. Perform a vertical puncture with a tip scissors between the Cricoid and 1st tracheal ring followed by a vertical incision of no more than 2 rings in length. 4. An age adapted tracheal tube is inserted into the trachea and the lungs are ventilated. Teaching methodology: Prior to the hands-on training of eFONA, all participants shall watch a 2-minute training video of RST performed on rabbit cadaver following the steps outlined above. During video demonstration, no additional explanation or support will be provided. Once study participants express confidence to perform the skill, participants shall attempt to perform the RST 10 times. During the RST procedure no additional explanation or support will be provided. Study participants will be allowed to watch the video again between attempts, if needed. Each attempt will be video recorded and time recorded for rater analysis, as outlined above. Successful tracheotomy is defined as ventilation of the lungs by way of a standard self-inflating bag that is to be connected to the tracheal tube or visual confirmation of the tube being placed at least 2 cm inside the trachea (dissection of the rabbit cadaver performed by assistant).
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) applied during induction of anesthesia prevents atelectasis formation and increases the duration of nonhypoxic apnea in obese and nonobese patients. PEEP also prevents atelectasis formation in pediatric patients. Because pediatric patients arterial desaturation during induction of anesthesia develops rapidly, we studied the clinical benefit of PEEP applied during anesthesia induction.
Multi-center, prospective, observational study investigating the incidence of isoelectric electroencephalography (EEG) events and the associated peri-operative factors in infants 0-3yo undergoing general anesthesia.
This study evaluates the effect of head and neck movement in children on endotracheal tube (ETT) tip displacement undergoing head-and-neck surgeries. The tube-tip displacement will be measured using flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.
