ReviewPractical guide for safe central venous catheterization and management 2017.
Central venous catheterization is a basic skill applicable in various medical fields. However, because it may occasionally cause lethal complications, we developed this practical guide that will help a novice operator successfully perform central venous catheterization using ultrasound guidance. The focus of this practical guide is patient safety. It details the fundamental knowledge and techniques that are indispensable for performing ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein catheterization (other choices of indwelling catheters, subclavian, axillary, and femoral venous catheter, or peripherally inserted central venous catheter are also described in alternatives).

ReviewAnesthetic considerations and goals in robotic pediatric surgery: a narrative review.
The morphosis from open surgeries to minimally invasive procedures is in greater part owing to the development of robotics. There has been a hiking popularity of robotic assistance for surgeries in recent years. Though a minimally invasive approach for surgery, it poses major challenges for an anesthesiologist that compound further for pediatric patients. ⋯ Timely anticipation, cautious observation for peri-operative complications and quick intervention to manage the same are warranted to provide high-quality anesthetic care. This simply implies that as robotic surgery plans to stretch up-to zenith, anesthesiologists shall strive to ace their part in robotic pediatric anesthesia as well. With an efficient and dynamic teamwork, robotic-assisted surgeries hold the potential to turn wonders for the future of surgery.
