Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Prospective trial comparing Airtraq and Glidescope techniques for intubation of obese patients].
Videolaryngoscope techniques are more and more in use and tend to modify our approach for patients difficult to intubate. We compared two techniques, Airtraq and Glidescope with direct laryngoscopy, with special emphasis on ease of access to airway (Intubation Difficulty Score - IDS score, duration and success of intubation) and the impact on hemodynamic variables among patients with a BMI of more than 30. ⋯ In obese patients, Glidescope allows intubation relatively easily without rescue techniques.

Review[Circumcision in children: an organizational or an ethical challenge?].
To review society, ethical and anaesthesiological issues related to circumcision in children. ⋯ The ethical point associated with circumcision is to allow best analgesia, in a way matching child's age. Analgesia, is achievable by both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.

Multicenter Study[Anaesthetic management of brain-dead for organ donation: impact on delayed graft function after kidney transplantation].
The aim of this study was to report current anaesthetic management brain-dead organ donors and to assess its impact on delayed kidney graft function (DGF). ⋯ During organ retrieval, 62% of organ donors received anaesthetic drugs. Use of anaesthesia lead to lower MAP requiring more fluid challenge with colloids but did not influence the DGF.

Review[Intraoperative ventilatory strategy in cardiac surgery: towards a multimodal approach].
Cardiac surgery with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains associated to respiratory morbidity. The underlying mechanisms are multiple. ⋯ The limitation of the inspired fraction, assisted ventilation controlled with low tidal volume, maintenance of ventilation during CPB and finally, a maneuver of vital capacity are the main components of respiratory management. Thus, to be fully effective, these strategies should be integrated into a multimodal approach starting from the induction and followed until ICU.
