Oesophageal atresia: Are “long gap” patients at greater anesthetic risk?
ConclusionLong gap oesophageal atresia infants have a similar incidence of perioperative complications to other infants with oesophageal atresia. Current surgical approaches to long gap repair, however, are associated with longer anesthetic exposures and require multiple procedures in infancy to achieve oesophageal continuity.

An initial experience with an Extraluminal EZ ‐Blocker®: A new alternative for 1‐lung ventilation in pediatric patients
ConclusionThe EZ‐Blocker was successful in providing lung isolation for a majority of our school age patients. Size constraints in children <6 years of age, excessive secretions, and distortions of tracheal anatomy seemed to be the greatest hindrances to successful placement and positioning of the device. Once correctly positioned, however, the EZ‐Blocker may be more stable than the Arndt endobronchial blocker. (Source: Pediatric Anesthesia)

Dura to spinal cord distance at different vertebral levels in children and its implications on epidural analgesia: A retrospective MRI ‐based study
ConclusionThe present study reports that the largest dura to spinal cord distance is found at the T5‐6 level, and the shortest dura to spinal cord distance at the L1‐2 level. There appears to be substantially more room in the dorsal subarachnoid space at the thoracic level. The risk of spinal cord damage resulting from accidental epidural needle advancement may be greater in the lumbar region due to a more dorsal location of the spinal cord in the vertebral canal compared to the thoracic region.

Train ‐of‐four recovery precedes twitch recovery during reversal with sugammadex in pediatric patients: A retrospective analysis
ConclusionThe results were in line with the results found in adults and showed that the train‐of‐four ratio recovered to 0.9 was faster than first twitch of the train‐of‐four height recovered to the same level. (Source: Pediatric Anesthesia)

Cost ‐effectiveness of intravenous acetaminophen and ketorolac in adolescents undergoing idiopathic scoliosis surgery
ConclusionIntravenous acetaminophen with or without ketorolac reduced opioid consumption, opioid‐related adverse effects, length of stay, and thereby cost of care following idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents compared with opioids‐alone postoperative analgesia strategy.

Sedation for magnetic resonance imaging using propofol with or without ketamine at induction in pediatrics —A prospective randomized double‐blinded study
ConclusionBoth sedation concepts proved to be reliable with a low incidence of side effects. Ketamine at induction with a reduced propofol infusion rate leads to faster postanesthetic recovery. (Source: Pediatric Anesthesia)

Ultrasound ‐guided lumbar plexus block in children and adolescents using a transverse lumbar paravertebral sonogram: Initial experience
ConclusionUltrasound guidance using lateral imaging of transverse process, vertebral body, and psoas muscle allows practitioners to reach the nerves of the lumbar plexus and achieve sensory block in pediatric patients with a high success rate. (Source: Pediatric Anesthesia)

Persistent pain following common outpatient surgeries in children: A multicenter study in Italy
ConclusionOur data support the presence of persistent pain in pediatric patients after common surgeries. Most patients who developed persistent pain at 6 months had pain at 1 month. We recommend questioning at follow‐up visit about persistent pain and functional impairment with follow‐up until resolution. (Source: Pediatric Anesthesia)

Evaluation of the stability and stratification of propofol and ketamine mixtures for pediatric anesthesia
ConclusionThe results of our measurements demonstrated that mixtures of propofol (1% and 2%) and ketamine at 5:1 and 6.7:1 ratios could be used in terms of mixture homogeneity and stability in a polypropylene syringe during a 6‐hour period at room temperature. (Source: Pediatric Anesthesia)
