Oxidative stress markers are not associated with outcomes after pediatric heart surgery.
To investigate whether perioperative serum levels of oxidative stress markers, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and carbonyl moieties are associated with outcomes in children after heart surgery. ⋯ In conclusion, oxidative stress markers TBARS and carbonyl moieties were not associated with the development of LCOS, the aLOS, or mortality in children after heart surgery with CPB.

Pain monitoring in anesthetized children: first assessment of skin conductance and analgesia-nociception index at different infusion rates of remifentanil.
Analgesia and nociception can not be specifically monitored during general anesthesia. Movement of the patient or hemodynamic variations are usually considered as symptoms of insufficient analgesia. The measure of skin conductance (SC) allows an assessment of peripheral sympathetic activity. The analgesia-nociception index (ANI) provides an evaluation of the parasympathetic activity based on heart rate variability. These two non-invasive monitors might allow a better assessment of perioperative nociception. ⋯ ANI might provide a more sensitive assessment of nociception in anesthetized children than hemodynamic parameters or skin conductance.
