Clinical TrialPropofol and remifentanil for deep sedation in children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combination of propofol and remifentanil deep sedation in spontaneously breathing children less than 7 years of age undergoing upper and/or lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. ⋯ The combination of propofol and remifentanil for sedation in children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy can be considered safe, effective and acceptable.

Comparative Study Clinical TrialHemodynamic and respiratory changes following dexmedetomidine administration during general anesthesia: sevoflurane vs desflurane.
The current study evaluates the hemodynamic and respiratory effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) when administered to children anesthetized with sevoflurane (SEVO) or desflurane (DES). ⋯ The administration of DEX (0.5 microg x kg(-1)) results in a lower HR in patients anesthetized with SEVO compared with DES. No evidence was found for differences in sBP, dBP, or P(E)CO(2) during spontaneous ventilation with 1 MAC of SEVO vs DES.

Case ReportsAirway management using the pediatric GlideScope in a child with Goldenhar syndrome and atypical plasma cholinesterase.
We report a case of difficult intubation in a child with Goldenhar syndrome and atypical plasma cholinesterase. Intubation attempts by direct laryngoscopy and the Trachlight were unsuccessful. The airway was ultimately secured using the pediatric GlideScope in conjunction with external laryngeal manipulation.
