Observational Study
Technical description of a modified jet ventilation injector for airway laser surgery in neonates and infants: retrospective analysis of 20 cases.
The authors modified an adult jet ventilation injector (Hunsaker Mon-Jet Ventilation Tube(®)) to be able to provide transglottal high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in small children undergoing laryngeal procedures with CO2 laser. ⋯ In experienced hands, this modified injector ensures excellent visibility and field access to the surgeon as well as adequate ventilation during laryngeal laser surgery in infants.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A comparison of ultrasound alone vs ultrasound with nerve stimulation guidance for continuous femoral nerve block in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
To compare analgesic efficacy of ultrasound (US) guidance alone and US guidance combined with nerve stimulation (NS) for continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ US-guided CFNB was associated with similar analgesic efficacy and block failure rate and reduced procedure time compared to US with NS guidance for CFNB in patients undergoing TKA.
