Effect of reinsertion of the spinal needle stylet after spinal anaesthesia procedure on post dural puncture headache in women undergoing caesarean delivery
Conclusions: Reinsertion of the stylet before spinal needle removal did not influence the incidence of PDPH. The onset of PDPH was delayed and the severity of headache was greater in women in whom reinsertion of the stylet was done. (Source: Indian Journal of Anaesthesia)

A randomised double-blind trial of minimal bolus doses of oxytocin for elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia: Optimal or not ?
Conclusions: Lower bolus oxytocin doses of one and two units were inadequate for uterine contraction at elective caeserean section, while three units appeared to be effective in terms of adequate uterine contraction, reduced blood loss and stable haemodynamic system and absent side effects.

Comparison of paediatric King Vision & #8482; videolaryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope for elective tracheal intubation in children of age less than 1 year: A randomised clinical trial
Conclusion: The outcome of KVL and Macintosh laryngoscope was similar in terms of time taken for intubation and first-attempt intubation success rate with KVL having superior glottic visualisation, better ease of intubation and lower intubation difficulty score for elective intubations in children of age <1 year.

Peri-operative management of children with spinal muscular atrophy
Conclusion: Children with type I and II SMA have similar hospital courses. The surgical and anaesthesia team should consider perioperative TPN and NIPPV (non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation), anticipate difficult intubations, longer than usual anaesthetic times, and potentially longer ICU stays in both SMA type I and II.
