Newer techniques have now superseded pediatric epidural analgesia (PEA), being as effective and safer, especially with the advances in ultrasonography. PEA is, however, still an important technique to master and employ, and it may be that the indications for this mode of analgesia have now become more defined.

He started life early, weighing only 2 pounds (0.9 kg). The outlook for him and his twin sister was poor so his mother, who was a nurse trained at the Childrens Hospital, Great Ormond Street, took them home to look after them herself. This showed that very small premature babies could survive with special care that did not include all the modern techniques. He was educated at Epsom College and graduated as a doctor from Aberdeen University in 1945. His first job was at Hampstead where they did their ward work in the morning and took over the anesthetics in the afternoon from the anesthetists - a frightening situation as they had no training. He was in the army for 3½ years, still giving anesthetics with littl...

CPNBs are now used more widely in children because more suitable materials have been marketed, allowing complete, and prolonged postoperative pain control. Their use after orthopedic procedures in children and treatment for complex regional pain syndrome in adolescents has demonstrated the benefits. Perineural catheters have also shown their superiority over other techniques of continuous regional anesthesia in terms of side effects. The efficiency and the safety of these techniques may facilitate early ambulation with improved pain management, treatment at home with disposable pumps, and improved rehabilitat...

A careful intraoperative monitoring and adaptation of the infusion rate as needed is crucial because the glucose and fluid requirements may vary widely between subjects.

However, our findings clearly demonstrate that in children undergoing BMT, at higher doses, dexmedetomidine significantly prolongs length of stay in the PACU.

The use of large-scale collaborative databases is increasingly essential to obtain enough reports with which to establish standards of practice and define the incidence of complications and risk/benefit ratios for rare events. Such projects can enhance local QA/QI endeavors by enabling institutions to obtain benchmark data against which to compare their performance and can be used for prospective analyses of inter-institutional differences to determine 'best practice'. The pediatric regional anesthesia network (PRAN) is such a project.

This review reports the complications and risks in pediatric regional anesthesia. Few large studies reported incidence of complications. However, the different studies have shown that regional anesthesia, when performed properly, carried a very low risk of morbidity in appropriately selected infants and children. In addition, the use of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blockade has shown some promise toward increasing the safety profile of these already safe techniques.

They act on the cytosolic side of phospholipid membranes. Two main chemical compounds are used, amino esters and amino amides. Amino esters are degraded by pseudocholinesterases in plasma. Amino amides are metabolized exclusively by the liver. Only amide LAs will be considered in this article.

He was an outstanding man - once met, never forgotten. My only contact with him was at the First Paediatric Anaesthesia Workshop at HSC in Toronto organized by Alan Conn in 1964. He chaired a panel with Jackson Rees from Liverpool and Bob Cope, a gentlemanly senior anesthetist at the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street in London. The introduction was followed by 'We are all enemies,' a sure start for a vigorous debate. Digby Leigh was born in Jersey, grew up in British Columbia where he attended the University of British Columbia.

This was achieved by maximizing workflow in the surgical, anesthesia, and nursing disciplines to shorten turnover time, fill gaps in the elective schedule with emergency procedures, and provide staffing to accommodate cases that extend beyond the scheduled staffed time prior to the reporting period. Simulated models from other pediatric institutions suggest that the optimal utilization of designated time periods in a surgical facility may range from 85% to 90%.

Spinal anesthesia is easy and effective technique: small amount of local anesthetic injected in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid provides highly effective anesthesia, analgesia, and sympathetic and motor block in the lower part of the body. The main limitation of spinal anesthesia is a variable and relatively short duration of the block with a single-injection of local anesthetic. With appropriate use of adjuvant or combining spinal anesthesia with epidural anesthesia, the analgesic action can be controlled in case of early recovery of initial block or in patients with prolonged procedures. Contraindications are rare. Bleeding disorder...

We report four cardiac arrests in two patients and 236 anesthetic events (1.7%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest review of these patients to date but is limited by its retrospective nature. The low cardiac arrest incidence prevents the identification of risk factors and the development of a cardiac arrest risk predictive clinical tool.

Shortly afterwards nerve blocks were being attempted for surgical anesthesia. Bier introduced spinal anesthesia in 1898, two of his first six patients being children. Spinal anesthesia became more widely used with the advent of better local anesthetics, stovaine and procaine in 1904-1905. Caudals and epidurals came into use in children much later. In the early years these blocks were performed by surgeons but as other doctors began to give anaesthetics the specialty of anesthesia evolved and these practitioners gradually took over this role. Specific reports of their use in children have increased as pediatric anesthesia has developed. Spinals a...

However, this action not only is localized to the sodium channels of nerve tissues involved with pain transmission but will have its effect on any tissue containing sodium channels. Thus, if there is a rapid absorption into the systemic circulation of locally injected LA or if LA inadvertently is injected into a blood vessel, then significant blockade of sodium channels in other tissues may also be blocked and serious complications may ensue. The two most important tissues associated with systemic toxicity of LA are the central nervous and the cardiovascular systems, which may lead to seizures, tachyarrhythmias, and ultimatel...

As a standard resection carried a high risk of mortality for the patient, a novel surgical approach was performed, consisting of gradual compression of the lesion, reducing its base to allow transection across the smallest possible area. This compression resulted in acute massive autotransfusion managed by therapeutic phlebotomy of more than twice the circulating blood volume of the patient, guided by CVP and blood pressure. Although subsequent resection was still associated with large blood loss, the hemodynamic course of the patient was stable, and both bleeding and massive transfusion occurred in a con...

It is critical that the anesthesiologist caring for these patients understands the management of the device and the underlying heart disease. Children with these devices are more vulnerable to lead failure and inappropriate shocks compared with the adult population.

These trials have consistently reported dramatic increases in the incidence and severity of hypoglycemia, which may also have associated adverse outcomes.

Different approaches will be contrasted with respect to their outputs in terms of positive impact on the practice of anesthesia. These approaches include audits by governmental organizations, national representative bodies, specialist societies, commissioned boards of inquiry, medicolegal sources, and police force investigations. Implementation strategies are considered alongside the reports as the reports cannot be considered end points themselves. Specific areas where pediatric anesthet...

Concerted action to reduce harm from this cause is overdue. An understanding of the genesis of avoidable adverse drug events may facilitate the development of effective countermeasures to the events or their effects. Errors include those involving the automatic system of cognition and those involving the reflective system. Errors and violations are distinct, but violations often predispose to error. The system of medication administration is complex, and many aspects of it are conducive to error. Evidence-based practices to reduce the risk of medication error in general include those encompassed by the following recommendations: systematic countermeasures should be used to ...

It is an effect seen with most volatile anesthetics as well as with ketamine and propofol. The effects are dose dependent and seen over particular periods of early development. There is some evidence that rodents exposed to anesthesia during infancy have delayed neurobehavioral development. There are inherent limitations in translating the preclinical data to human practice but the data cannot be ignored. Some human clinical studies have found evidence for an association between major surgery and changes in neurobehavioral outcome, although the evidence is less clear for minor surgery. These...

Among possible therapeutic strategies to limit clinical cerebral damage and improve outcomes, hypothermia remains a promising and beneficial approach. However, its advantages are still debated after decades of use. Studies in adults have generated conflicting results, whereas in children recent data even suggest that hypothermia may be detrimental. Is it because brain temperature physiology is not well understood and/or not applied properly, that hypothermia fails to convince clinicians of its potential benefits? Or is it because hypothermia is not, as believed, the optimal strategy to improve outcome in patients affected with an ...

The increasing sophistication of modeling techniques is associated with pitfalls that may not be readily apparent to readers or investigators. While size and age are considered primary covariates for PK models, the impact of birth on clearance maturation is poorly documented, dose in obese children is poorly investigated, pharmacologic implications of physiologic changes poorly portrayed, disease progression on drug response poorly depicted and the impact of metabolites on effect poorly illustrated. This review identifies some of these pitfalls and suggests ideas to circumvent or investigate these hazards. ...

Genotype-phenotype relationships in infants and children must take into account the role that ontogeny plays in producing variability in both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This review explores pharmacogenomics in the context of ontogeny and relates these to the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters and the consequent effect on the exposure-response relationship in the early years of life.
