Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of Truview infant EVO2 laryngoscope with the Miller blade in neonates and infants.
The Truview EVO2 laryngoscope is a recently introduced device with a unique blade that provides a wide and magnified laryngeal view at 46 degrees anterior refracted angle. An infant blade of the laryngoscope has recently become available. ⋯ In this study, we found that in neonates and infants, the tracheal intubation using Truview infant EVO2 blade took almost as much time as miller blade and provided improved laryngoscopic view as compared to the Miller blade.

ReviewUltrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block in infants, children and adolescents: a simple procedural guidance for their performance.
The transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) has been described recently for pain management following abdominal surgery. Although many techniques have been described using anatomical landmarks, a simple ultrasound (US) guidance technique for the block has not been described in children. ⋯ We describe in this article, a user-friendly approach to the placement of a TAP block in infants, children and adolescents. Further pharmacokinetic data has to be obtained for actual dosing for these blocks in infants and children.
