[Flexible laryngeal mask airway use during surgical burn management with head mobilisation: a feasibility study].
To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of the flexible laryngeal mask airway (LMA flexible) use during scalp skin harvesting for surgical reparation of burn sequella. ⋯ The use of LMA flexible during surgical burn repair procedures, including head mobilisation for the harvesting of scalp skin grafts is feasible.

Comment Letter Case Reports[Acetaminophen-induced hypotension after intravenous and oral administration].

To propose the different modalities of management of the allergic risk occurring during paediatric anaesthesia. ⋯ Allergic reactions to NMBAs occurring during paediatric anaesthesia are rare whereas those with latex are more frequent. Therefore, the reduction of the allergic risk during paediatric anaesthesia essentially requires a latex-free environment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Inspiratory support versus spontaneous breathing during preoxygenation in healthy subjects. A randomized, double blind, cross-over trial].
Applying an inspiratory support (AI) and a positive end expiratory pressure (PEP) could increase the effectiveness of the preoxygenation. ⋯ This study shows applying AI plus PEP during preoxygenation improves its effectiveness in the healthy subjects. It also suggests that, in a population of healthy volunteers, combination AI-4/PEP-4 is preferable to AI-6/PEP-4 because so effective, but better tolerated.

Review[Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in paediatric intensive care units: which indications in 2010?].
Noninvasive ventilation (NVI) is increasingly used in paediatrics, although there is a high variety of practices and a paucity of published data in paediatrics. The last French consensus conference recognized a specific role of NVI for infants suffering from acute bronchiolitis with apnoea, and acute respiratory failure due to laryngotracheomalacia and cystic fibrosis. ⋯ All these adult recommendations have not been validated in the pediatric setting, and, thus, taking the paediatric characteristics into account is essential. In 2010, NVI had an important place in PICU, and must be managed by a trained team whose practice is regularly evaluated.
