Supplementing desflurane with intravenous anesthesia reduces fetal cardiac dysfunction during open fetal surgery.
To lower the incidence and severity of fetal cardiovascular depression during maternal fetal surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ SIVA as described provides adequate maternal anesthesia and uterine relaxation, and it allows for decreased use of desflurane during open fetal surgery. Decreased use of desflurane may better preserve fetal cardiac function.

A novel isotonic-balanced electrolyte solution with 1% glucose for perioperative fluid management in children- an animal experimental preauthorization study.
The recommendations for perioperative maintenance fluid in children have been adapted from hypotonic to isotonic electrolyte solutions with lower glucose concentrations (1-2.5% instead of 5%) to avoid hyponatremia or hyperglycemia. ⋯ Both solutions showed a wide margin of safety in the case of accidental hyperhydration with less acid-base electrolyte changes when using BS-G1. This novel solution could therefore enhance patient's safety within the scope of perioperative volume management.

Randomized Controlled TrialParental calculation of pediatric paracetamol dose: a randomized trial comparing the Parental Analgesia Slide with product information leaflets.
To compare the ability of parents to calculate and demonstrate the correct paracetamol (acetaminophen) dose, interval, and frequency for their child when using either product information leaflets or the Parental Analgesia Slide. ⋯ The Parental Analgesia Slide resulted in improved parental ability to calculate paracetamol dose, interval, and frequency while preserving their ability to demonstrate an accurate drug volume.
