Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of recovery after intermediate duration of anaesthesia with sevoflurane and isoflurane.
The purpose of this study was to compare recovery from anaesthesia after sevoflurane and isoflurane were administered to children for more than 90 min. ⋯ After intermediate duration of anaesthesia administered to children for up to 90 min, isoflurane and sevoflurane allow recovery after approximatively the same lapse of time.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialDistal oesophageal pH measurement in children during general anaesthesia using the laryngeal mask airway, tracheal tube and face mask.
Distal oesophageal pH was measured during controlled ventilation in children with the laryngeal mask airway (LMATM), tracheal tube (TT) and face mask (FM). ⋯ There was no difference in the median pH values, within and between the groups (P > 0.05). We conclude that there is no difference in gastro-oesophageal reflux, when using a LMA, TT or FM during controlled ventilation in anaesthetized children.

ReviewReview of ethics in paediatric anaesthesia: research issues.
This is the second of a series of three articles reviewing the recent changes in the law in relation to ethics and the practice of paediatric anaesthesia. The review covers, in a practical question and answer format, the topics of consent, research, intensive care issues and organ donation in children.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialThe effect on intraocular pressure of tracheal intubation or laryngeal mask insertion during sevoflurane anaesthesia in children without the use of muscle relaxants.
We studied the effects of sevoflurane on intraocular pressure after induction in children undergoing either tracheal tube (TT) or laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion without a muscle relaxant ⋯ Sevoflurane does not prevent the increase in IOP after intubation without muscle relaxants. LMA does not increase IOP in children after sevoflurane induction.
