Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of positive end expiratory pressure on non-hypoxic apnea time and atelectasis during induction of anesthesia in infant: A randomized controlled trial.
This study aimed to assess the impact of positive-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the non-hypoxic apnea time in infants during anesthesia induction with an inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8. ⋯ The application of positive end-expiratory pressure reduced the incidence of atelectasis and extended the non-hypoxic apnea time in infants who are 6 months old or younger. However, it did not affect the incidence of atelectasis nor the non-hypoxic apnea time in patients aged older than 6 months.

Perioperative Management of Pediatric Combined Heart and Liver Transplantation: A 17 year single center experience.
An increasing number of centers are undertaking combined heart and liver transplantation in adult and pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. ⋯ Perioperative challenges include major perioperative bleeding, unstable hemodynamics, and end organ injury including acute kidney injury and neurological events. Successful outcomes for en bloc combined heart and liver transplantation are possible with careful multidisciplinary planning, communication, patient selection, and integrated peri-operative management.
