Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialOral high-dose midazolam premedication for infants and children undergoing cardiovascular surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialLaryngeal mask insertion in children: a rational approach.
Various techniques of laryngeal mask airway (LMATM) insertion have been described in adults but only limited clinical trials have been conducted in children despite a varying range in success rate by the recommended method. ⋯ A partially inflated cuff inserted by the lateral route is a better method of insertion in children and grade 3 fibreoptic views can be associated with a significant build up of carbon dioxide in children breathing spontaneously.
