Case Reports
Laparoscopic appendectomy in a pediatric patient with type 1 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
A pediatric patient with type 1 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease-a disorder associated with a demyelinating polyneuropathy-presented for laparoscopic appendectomy in the setting of acute appendicitis. Induction and maintenance of anesthesia were successfully managed without the use of any depolarizing or nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents. The patient was successfully extubated at the completion of the procedure without any respiratory or neuromuscular sequelae, with excellent pain control and no postoperative nausea or vomiting.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Optimum sevoflurane concentration for I-gel insertion in unpremedicated children.
End-tidal concentration of sevoflurane for I-gel insertion in children has not been studied. This study was designed to determine the sevoflurane EC50 and EC95 for I-gel placement in children as compared with classic laryngeal mask airway (CLMA) placement. ⋯ I-gel insertion in children can be accomplished at nearly half ET SEVO (0.94%) of that required for CLMA insertion (1.9%).
