Observational StudyCorrelation between bispectral index and patient state index in children under sevoflurane anesthesia.
Because the unanticipated arousal or hemodynamic instability during anesthesia may adversely affect the physical and emotional welfare of children, adequate management of the anesthesia depth is required. We aimed to compare Bispectral Index (BIS) and Patient State Index (PSI) in children during sevoflurane anesthesia and evaluate PSI as depth of anesthesia monitor in children aged 6 months-12 years. ⋯ There was a fair correlation between BIS and PSI in children under sevoflurane anesthesia. The use of BIS and PSI as an indicator for anesthesia depth by sevoflurane is not reliable in pediatric patients.

Analysis of the radial and ulnar arteries using ultrasound and a vascular visualization device in children.
Radial artery is the preferred site for cannulation. Recently, the ulnar artery was chosen as an alternative in adults. ⋯ The ulnar artery can be considered a promising alternative to the radial artery for facilitating arterial cannulation in children.
