Overall performance of an i-RS could be improved by expanding the database for decision-making and adding a category of uncertainty. This would reduce complications caused by incorrect epidural placement.

We recommend prospective studies in children of different age groups with Down's syndrome and in other groups of intellectually disabled children to provide further investigation of the hypothesis that intellectual disability predisposes to different analgesic requirements.

Further studies in dual expression systems and whole animals with this prototype are warranted.

Restoring MAP with norepinephrine did not affect ileal microcirculation or mucosal acidosis, indicating that perfusion pressure manipulation is of limited importance to the intestinal microcirculation in established endotoxaemic shock.

When these devices are not so calibrated, they default to a reference value for twitch magnitude that was defined in healthy adult people. Even though neuromuscular transmission was restored in these dogs, we surmise that they did not achieve the default reference value, causing the monitor to display TOF counts rather than TOF ratios.

We identified cognitive errors specific to anaesthesiology practice. Understanding the key types of cognitive errors specific to anaesthesiology is the first step towards training in metacognition and de-biasing strategies, which may improve patient safety.

During induction of anaesthesia and when the AP was low, the agreement was less good and interchangeability was not achieved. These results suggest that CNAP is not statistically equivalent to invasive monitoring during all periods of anaesthesia but may be a useful additional AP monitor.

Morphine is widely used to control moderate-to-severe postoperative pain and the use of small i.v. boluses of morphine in the post-anaesthesia care unit allows a rapid titration of the dose needed for adequate pain relief. The essential principle of a titration regimen must be to adapt the morphine dose to the pain level. Although morphine would not appear to be the most appropriate choice for achieving rapid pain relief, this is the sole opioid assessed in many studies of immediate postoperative pain management using titration. More than 90% of the patients have pain relief using a protocol of morphine titration and the mean dose required to obtain pain relief is 12 (7) mg, after a media...

ESRD patients have significant co-morbidities and specific medical requirements. Renal replacement therapy (RRT), cardiovascular disease, disorders of electrolytes, drug metabolism, and sepsis are discussed. This review provides a practical approach to problems specific to the ESRD patient and common problems on ICU that require special consideration in ESRD patients. ESRD patients are at risk of hyperkalaemia. I.V. insulin and nebulized salbutamol lower serum potassium until definitive treatment with RRT is instituted. ESRD patients are prone to hypocalcaemia, which requires i.v. replacement if associated with complications. Midazolam has delayed ...

The non-Luer system also appeared to decrease the risk of administration of i.v. medications into the intrathecal space. Further modifications will be required to completely eliminate the risk of administering intrathecal medication i.v. and evaluation in a clinical setting will help determine the true impact of this non-Luer system on patient safety.

This is the first report of OIH in an infant. On day 41 of life after nine separate surgical interventions, the patient's pain scores increased and remained elevated, despite increasing opioid administration. The patient also developed hyperalgesia, allodynia, and photophobia and became extremely irritable upon handling. Other possible causes were excluded, including interruption to opioid delivery, sepsis, acid–base and electrolyte disturbance, and ongoing surgical pathology. An opioid rotation to hydromorphone was initiated and ketamine was commenced. Sedation for ventilation was achieved with dexmedetomidine and midazolam infusions. Over a peri...

In situations of ‘clinical uncertainty’ (≥427 but ≤563 m), the number of clinical risk factors and magnitude of surgery should be incorporated into the decision-making process.

In a child, it is associated with a significant risk for anaesthesia. In addition, cardiac arrest under anaesthesia has been attributed to an undiagnosed CM. Care of these patients is complicated by the fact that there are several different forms of CM that have differing anaesthesia management goals, aimed at maintaining the patient's baseline haemodynamic variables of preload, heart rate, contractility, and afterload. With the emergence of new diagnostic tools, together with advances in cardiac imaging and improved treatment modalities (such as ventricular assist devices), the anaesthetic management of a child with a CM is evolvin...

A recent meta-analysis suggested that TEA decreased postoperative cardiac morbidity and mortality. TEA appears to ameliorate gut injury in major surgery as long as the systemic haemodynamic effects of TEA are adequately controlled. The functional benefit in fast-track and laparoscopic surgery needs to be clarified. Better pain control with TEA is established in a wide range of surgical procedures. In a setting of advanced surgical techniques, fast-track regimens and a low overall event rate, the number needed to treat to prevent one death by TEA is high. The risk of harm by TEA is even lower, and other methods used to control perioper...

Biomarkers have been defined as biological molecules that can be used as an indicator of new onset or progression of a biological process or effect of treatment. Biomarkers have become increasingly important in this setting to supplement other modalities of diagnosis such as EEG, sensory- or motor-evoked potential, transcranial Doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy, or imaging methods. A number of neuro-proteins have been identified and are currently under investigation for potential to provide insights into injury severity, outcome, and the ability to monitor cellular damage and molecular events that occur during neurological injury.

prediction of changes in PaO2 is acceptably accurate and reliable and better than any other existing method. Its use by clinicians appears to improve accuracy over the most popular existing method. The simplicity of the new method may allow its regular use in the critical care setting.

Further study of the novel N2 washout method is needed.

In comparing only the postoperative period, analgesia provided by an ultrasound-guided RSB showed a trend towards statistically significant improvement compared with infiltration of the surgical site.

This may warrant further investigation in the context of long-term use of intrathecal opioids for controlling chronic pain.

However, the increase in maternal temperature does not appear to provoke any deleterious effects on the mother or child.

The mechanisms underlying SR and the potential consequences for the patient's postoperative outcome remain unsolved.

The difference of autoregulation between the two groups was small and most likely clinically insignificant.

These results imply that MLAEP detection is a reasonable tool for monitoring hypnotic effects at all ages. Further studies are required to standardize MLAEP alterations related to effects of medication used for general anaesthesia at all different ages.

Overall satisfaction with anaesthesia was unchanged.
