[Control of hemodynamic and cerebral perfusion in children - which monitoring should be used?].
Options for hemodynamic and cerebral perfusion monitoring in pediatric anesthesia are limited, but it should be used to reduce the potential damage due to hypotension and reduced cerebral perfusion. Non-invasive blood pressure measurement should be used in all cases of pediatric anesthesia and near-infrared spectroscopy for risk pediatric patients. In former times measurement of non-invasive blood pressure had no priority, this is not state of the art based on current data.

Review[Respiratory and extracorporeal lung support].
Mechanical ventilation is the most commonly used form of respiratory support to restore or maintain adequate gas exchange. However, mechanical ventilation does not provide a physiological form of breathing. Neither does it provide an optimal ventilation / perfusion ratio due to passive movement of the diagphragm favoring the non-dependent parts of the lung. ⋯ Hence, lung protective ventilation is mandatory in patients with an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and should likewise be used in the operating room. Extracorporeal pulmonary support is required in case mechanical ventilation is unable to secure sufficient gas exchange or VILI is imminent. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) acts as lung replacement therapy and may improve survival along with treatment in an ARDS-center.

Review[Organ replacement therapy - extracorporeal liver assist devices].
Liver failure is a disease with a high mortality rate. Often liver transplantation is the sole therapeutic option. On the one hand, liver support systems probably support the liver to allow regeneration, on the other hand they are an option to bridge for transplantation. This article gives an overview on the clinically used liver assist devices (molecular adsorbent recirculating system [MARS], Prometheus system, single-pass albumin dialysis [SPAD], plasmapheresis) and discusses the applications in liver failure.
