Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of dexmedetomidine premedication on postoperative systemic inflammatory response in children undergoing hernia repair surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
Surgery results in systemic inflammation, which can affect the central nervous system, leading to changes in mood, emotion, and behavior. Our previous study has shown that compared to midazolam, dexmedetomidine premedication effectively decreased children's postoperative anxiety. ⋯ A single preoperative intravenous dexmedetomidine dose in children undergoing same-day surgery reduces postoperative systemic inflammation.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of tip-manipulated stylet angle on intubation using the GlideScope® videolaryngoscope in children: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
An optimal endotracheal tube curve can be a key factor in successful intubation using the GlideScope videolaryngoscope. ⋯ Having additional angle of the endotracheal tube tip to the left could be a useful technique to facilitate directing and advancing endotracheal tube into the vocal cords.
