An Assessment of the Relationship between BMI and Children Undergoing Surgical Procedures: A Retrospective Study
Conclusions: Children with obesity required more tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy and vascular access procedures. Wound dehiscence was the only complication that was associated with obesity. This suggests that children with obesity are not inherently more prone to experience surgical complications and therefore elective procedures should likely not be deferred until preoperative weight loss is achieved.PMID:35776521 | DOI:10.1089/chi.2022.0065 (Source: Childhood Obesity)

Analgesic Effects and Safety of Dexmedetomidine Added to Nalbuphine or Sufentanil Patient-Controlled Intravenous Analgesia for Children After Tonsillectomy Adenoidectomy
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine or sufentanil combined with dexmedetomidine for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after pediatric tonsillectomy adenoidectomy. A total of 400 patients undergoing tonsillectomy with and without adenoidectomy were included in the study. Patients received a PCIA pump (0.5 mg/kg nalbuphine, 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and 0.9% sodium chloride to a total volume of 100 ml) for postoperative pain management were classified into Group ND (n = 200). Patients received a PCIA pump (2 μg/kg sufentanil, 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and 0.9% sodium chloride to a tot...

Herpesvirus infections in adenoids in patients with chronic adenotonsillar disease
This study shows that adenoid and tonsil tissues commonly harbor human herpes- and respiratory viruses, and it shows the differences in virus findings between sample types. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.PMID:35488185 | DOI:10.1002/jmv.27818 (Source: Herpes)

Comparison of clinical practice of tonsil surgery from quality register data from Sweden and Norway and one clinic in Denmark
Conclusions
This study demonstrates disparities among the Nordic countries in tonsil surgery in terms of indications plus surgical and haemostatic techniques. Increased coverage and further monitoring of outcomes is needed to identify best practices and ideal guidelines for improved care. (Source: BMJ Open)

The effect on the T-14 paediatric throat disorders outcome score of delaying adenotonsillectomy surgery due to COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that following delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, paediatric patients experienced an improvement in some aspects of their quality of life while awaiting tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. This was most apparent in quality-of-life measures relating to recurrent tonsillitis, namely visits to a doctor/A&E, antibiotics for less than 2 weeks, chronic infections and school missed due to sore throats. Patients may experience an improvement in some of their individual symptoms, in particular their infective symptoms, during an observation period.PMID:35446154 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann...
