Case ReportsMinor increase of endtidal CO2 during sevoflurane-induced malignant hyperthermia.
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) in a pediatric patient during sevoflurane anesthesia with only a minor rise of endtidal CO(2) is described. MH was considered because of increased rectal temperature. ⋯ In vitro contracture tests were performed on muscle biopsies from both parents. A strong contracture in response to halothane confirmed the father's MH susceptibility, thereby according a high probability of an MH episode in his son.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of bilateral infraorbital nerve block with intravenous fentanyl for analgesia following cleft lip repair in children.
The efficacy of analgesia with bilateral infraorbital nerve block and intravenous (i.v.) fentanyl were compared for cleft lip surgery in children. ⋯ Bilateral infraorbital block is superior to fentanyl in terms of analgesia, and time to awakening and feeding.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyTracheal intubating conditions and pharmacodynamics following cisatracurium in infants and children undergoing halothane and thiopental-fentanyl anesthesia.
The aims of the present study were to determine the tracheal intubating conditions, onset time, duration of action, and hemodynamic responses following the administration of cisatracurium 0.15 mg x kg(-1) to infants and children. ⋯ Cisatracurium 0.15 mg x kg(-1) produces acceptable intubating conditions at 120 s in the great majority of infants and children. Anesthesia background and age have significant effects on intubating conditions and duration of action of cisatracurium.
