Filter by: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.
Randomised controlled prospective trial with 2 groups (active group with Lumbar plexus block (LPB)-catheter vs control group). In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators will investigate under controlled circumstances the effect of a LPB-catheter placed with ultrasound guided "Shamrock"-technique to improve postoperative pain treatment after unilateral open hip and femoral surgery in paediatric patients. The investigators will investigate the effect on opioid consumption and the reduction of opioid related side effects during the first 24 postoperative hours
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.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine the effect of two clinically applicable Dexmedetomidine dosages (0.5mcg/kg and 1mcg/kg) on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of Sevoflurane in children between the age ranges of: 1-6 months; 6-12 months of age and 12 months-36 months years of age.
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.
This is a single center trial to evaluate the performance of the King Vision video laryngoscope in pediatric patients between the ages of one month and 10 years of age. If the performance is satisfactory, this device may become a standard laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in elective and emergent tracheal intubations.
With this study we want to see how the blood flow in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and the basilar artery (BA) after the caudal block changes.
