[Pain and postoperative behavioural changes following adenoidectomy and ear tube placement in children].
The purpose of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain in the hospital and at home as well as behavioural changes at home following outpatient adenoidectomy (VG) and ear tube (ATT) surgery. ⋯ The relatively high frequency of postoperative behaviour changes in this population demonstrates the need to systematically evaluate those changes in order to improve overall paediatric care.

[Assessment of hygiene practices in anaesthesia between 1998 and 2007 in Lorraine].
To study the assessment of hygiene practices in anaesthesia in Lorraine between 1998 and 2007, after recommendations from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Reanimation (SFAR) in December 1997, and different local actions. ⋯ Hygiene practices in anaesthesia in Lorraine have been improved between the two surveys by recommendations from the Sfar and the work of the Antenne Régional de Lorraine (audits, manuals, formations). Promising progress has been made but some points must still be worked on.

[Evaluation of the haemostasis before a central block in children: what is the French anaesthesiologist's attitude?].
Because of the lack of controlled studies, there is no consensus regarding the practice of routine haemostasis tests before neuraxial blockade in children. The purpose of this study was to describe the French surgical practice about the preoperative evaluation of coagulation in children who were scheduled for paediatric neuraxial anaesthesia. ⋯ While numerous data suggest that routine testing does not to provide much extra information in the absence of a positive history, a systematic strategy is still widely applied in children. Guidelines need to be developed to insure the safety of oriented tests.
