[French national survey on difficult intubation in intensive care units.]
Assessing the theoretical knowledge, practical experience of French intensivists, and their compliance with French Anesthesiology and Critical Care Society's difficult airway algorithms of the expert's SFAR conference of 2006. ⋯ National airway management algorithm was insufficiently followed. Alternative techniques do not seem to be mastered by all physicians. French intensivists expect more training on difficult intubation, including high fidelity simulation.

Observational Study[Paediatric discharge score in ambulatory surgery.]
In adults, the Post-Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) was built to secure the discharge after outpatient surgery. We evaluate a pediatric adaptation: the Pediatric-PADSS (Ped-PADSS). ⋯ The majority of the children have met the criteria for discharge at the end of 2hours postoperative monitoring. The use of this score could reduce the hospitalization time in ambulatory unit.

Observational StudyRisk factors for persistent pain after urological surgery.
Ten to 50% of patients with post-surgical pain develop chronic pain depending on the type of surgery. The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) and to identify risk factors following urology surgery. ⋯ These findings confirm the role of preoperative pain and morphine consumption in the genesis of PPSP and call for establishing clinical perioperative pathways tailored to the patient.

Guideline[Guidelines for enhanced recovery after elective colorectal surgery.]
Early recovery after surgery provides patients with all means to counteract or minimize the deleterious effects of surgery. This concept is suitable for a surgical procedure (e.g., colorectal surgery) and comes in the form of a clinical pathway that covers three periods (pre-, intra- and postoperative). The purpose of this Expert panel guideline is firstly to assess the impact of each parameter usually included in the rehabilitation programs on 6 foreseeable consequences of colorectal surgery: surgical stress, postoperative ileus, water and energy imbalance, postoperative immobility, sleep alterations and postoperative complications; secondly, to validate the usefulness of each as criteria of efficiency criteria for success of rehabilitation programs. ⋯ A consensus was reached among anesthesiologists and surgeons on a number of approaches that are likely not sufficiently applied for rehabilitation programs in colorectal surgery such as: preoperative intake of carbohydrates; intraoperative hemodynamic optimization; oral feeding resume before ha24; gum chewing after surgery; patient out of bed and walking at D1. The panel also clarified the value and place of such approaches such as: patient information; preoperative immunonutrition; laparoscopic surgery; antibiotic prophylaxis; prevention of hypothermia; systematic prevention of nausea and vomiting; morphine-sparing analgesic techniques; indications and techniques for bladder catheterization. The panel also confirmed the futility of approaches such as: bowel preparation for colon surgery; maintain of the nasogastric tube; surgical drainage for colonic surgery.

[Declarative survey about postpartum haemorrhage management by anaesthesiologists in Pays de la Loire area (France): What's the adherence to clinical practice guidelines?]
To assess the management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) by anaesthesiologists in Pays de la Loire area. ⋯ Some inappropriate practices remain in structures not used to support them. The use of new therapies remain controversial. The priority at this time is the implementation and enforcement of the current RCP, not their modifications.
