Impact of chronic condition status and severity on dental treatment under general anesthesia for Medicaid-enrolled children in Iowa state.
To assess the impact of chronic condition (CC) status and CC severity, respectively, on the odds of receiving dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA) for Medicaid-enrolled children by age group. ⋯ Chronic condition status and severity were more important determinants of dental treatment under GA for Medicaid-enrolled children ages 6-14 than for those <6. Understanding these relationships is a critical step in developing clinical strategies and interventions aimed at preventing dental disease for Medicaid-enrolled children whose reasons for needing dental treatment under GA are modifiable.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEmergence agitation after cataract surgery in children: a comparison of midazolam, propofol and ketamine.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the concurrent use of either of a subhypnotic dose of midazolam, propofol or ketamine with fentanyl just before discontinuing the sevoflurane anesthesia would effectively sedate the children as they recovered and significantly decrease the incidence and severity of emergence agitation and would not delay patient awakening and discharge. ⋯ Intravenous administration of a subhypnotic dose of midazolam or propofol in addition to a low dose of fentanyl just before discontinuing the sevoflurane anesthesia was both effective on decreasing the incidence and severity of emergence agitation in children undergoing cataract extraction without significant delaying recovery time and discharge. The effect of midazolam was clearer than that seen with propofol.

Randomized Controlled TrialA prospective randomized trial comparing supraglottic airways for flexible bronchoscopy in children.
A prospective randomized, controlled trial was conducted comparing supraglottic airways (SGA) for flexible bronchoscopy in 100 children. ⋯ In this trial, PVC single-use laryngeal masks were inferior to the silicone cLMA and Boss Systems laryngeal masks for flexible bronchoscopy in children.
