Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyMetabolic and oxidative effects of sevoflurane and propofol in children undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease.
To evaluate the metabolic and oxidative effects of sevoflurane and propofol in children undergoing surgery for correction of congenital heart disease. ⋯ Anesthetic techniques investigated in this study showed a similar pattern, with no increase in metabolic substrates and oxidative stress during surgical correction of congenital heart defects in non-cyanotic children.

Randomized Controlled TrialL-alanyl-glutamine pretreatment attenuates acute inflammatory response in children submitted to palatoplasty.
To evaluate the effects of L-alanyl-glutamine (L-Ala-Gln) pretreatment on oxidative stress, glycemic control and inflammatory response in children submitted to palatoplasty. ⋯ Pretreatment with L-Ala-Gln in children submitted to palatoplasty attenuates the inflammatory response in early post-operative period and promoted a better glycemic control.
