Motion sickness as a predictor of postoperative vomiting in children aged 1-16 years.
Motion sickness (MS) may be a risk factor for postoperative vomiting (POV), but its independent predictive value in children is not known. ⋯ Motion sickness is associated with POV in this group of children, but its positive predictive value is fairly low.

Controlled Clinical TrialSedation for children with metachromatic leukodystrophy undergoing MRI.
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal storage disease with infantile and juvenile onset with a poor prognosis and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a fundamental role in its diagnosis. Procedural sedation is needed to carry out MRI on children. Very few case reports have been published on anesthesia or sedation for MLD patients. ⋯ Our protocol for sedation in the MRI setting proved safe and effective in children with MLD, who do not require different doses of sedatives compared with healthy children.
