Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe effects of mivacurium-induced neuromuscular block on Bispectral Index and Cerebral State Index in children under propofol anesthesia - a prospective randomized clinical trial.
In adults anesthetized with propofol, muscle relaxants may decrease the Bispectral Index (BIS). The aim of this prospective randomized trial was to detect the influence of a muscle relaxant bolus on the BIS and the Cerebral State Index (CSI) in children under propofol anesthesia. ⋯ These data suggest that in pediatric patients anesthetized with propofol, administration of mivacurium has no impact on BIS and CSI values.

A novel isotonic-balanced electrolyte solution with 1% glucose for perioperative fluid management in children- an animal experimental preauthorization study.
The recommendations for perioperative maintenance fluid in children have been adapted from hypotonic to isotonic electrolyte solutions with lower glucose concentrations (1-2.5% instead of 5%) to avoid hyponatremia or hyperglycemia. ⋯ Both solutions showed a wide margin of safety in the case of accidental hyperhydration with less acid-base electrolyte changes when using BS-G1. This novel solution could therefore enhance patient's safety within the scope of perioperative volume management.
