Case Reports[Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage secondary to congenital factor XIII deficiency].
Deficiency of coagulation factor XIII is a rare anomaly. The risk of intracranial haemorrhage is particularly high at any age, either spontaneously or during minor trauma. We report a case of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage in a child carrying a known deficiency of factor XIII.

[Anaesthesia and vasomotor tone during CPB: intravenous anaesthetics].
Anaesthesia during CBP is frequently provided using intravenous anaesthetic drugs, particularly propofol. The effects of the different drugs have been studied during CPB. These drugs have an arterial and venous vasodilator effect during CPB which is dose dependent and is more pronounced for propofol. High doses of propofol or thiopental reduce cerebral blood flow but provide no additional neurological protection.

[Vasoreactivity changes during extracorporeal circulation: effects of halogenated agents].
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), endothelium is exposed to multiple disturbances leading to significant vasomotor tone and vascular systemic resistances (VSR) level modifications. Properties of endothelial function on vascular tone were summarized herein. According bibliographic findings, physiological and clinical impacts of respectively halogenated agents and CPB concerning vasomotor tone were reported. ⋯ Incidence of severe vasoplegia was established to 9.5 % in the studied population and this result was similar as others. More over predicting factors of severe vasoplegia were the same as previously reported : severity of preoperative clinical status according Euroscore, hemodynamical instability before induction of anesthesia, surgical procedure complexity and CPB duration. Absence of deleterious effects in SVR decrease when administering isoflurane during normothermic CPB was assumed but prospective comparative studies comparing effects of halogenated agents and other anesthetic agents are needed in order to confirm these findings.
