Clinical TrialTechniques and complications of one-lung ventilation in children with suppurative lung disease: experience in 15 cases.
To evaluate lung isolation with Fogarty catheters and to analyze respiratory consequences of one-lung ventilation (OLV) in children with suppurative lung disease. ⋯ The use of Fogarty embolectomy catheters for lung isolation in children undergoing thoracotomy is recommended. Respiratory problems are not rare during OLV in children with suppurative lung disease and require immediate management.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialSevoflurane versus isoflurane in patients undergoing valvular cardiac surgery.
To determine if sevoflurane provides hemodynamic and recovery characteristics comparable to isoflurane in patients undergoing surgery for valvular heart disease. ⋯ Sevoflurane showed a tendency to lower heart rates and cardiac index compared with isoflurane. Eye opening and extubation were slightly earlier. These findings were not statistically significant, however.
