Intraoperative blood product transfusion in pediatric cardiac surgery patients: a retrospective review of adverse outcomes.
Resuscitation with blood products is often required for pediatric cardiac surgery patients following cardiopulmonary bypass. However, data suggest that blood product transfusion is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes. Most studies have specifically found detrimental effects of overall transfusion of red blood cells in particular, but few have analyzed outcomes by the other specific blood product components. ⋯ Transfusion of blood products following cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with postoperative adverse outcomes. Future studies aimed at strategies to reduce intraoperative bleeding and decrease the amount of blood products administered are warranted.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of Virtual Tour on Perioperative Pediatric Anxiety.
There is a high incidence of perioperative anxiety in the pediatric population, with adverse side effects, such as emergency delirium and maladaptive postoperative behaviors. ⋯ Our study confirms previous studies that found virtual tours for perioperative patients may reduce perioperative anxiety and improve satisfaction. We found no impact on longer-term outcomes.

Children's perioperative multidimensional anxiety scale: Turkish cross-cultural adaptation.
The number of pediatric surgeries is constantly increasing. Evaluating anxiety levels in pediatric surgical patients is highly important in terms of preventing complications. ⋯ The CPMAS, which was developed by Chow et al. in English, had high validity and reliability levels for Turkey. It is recommended that the scale be used by healthcare professionals in Turkey in the assessment of surgery-related anxiety in children.

Postoperative Recovery in Children: Turkish Cross-Cultural Adaptation.
Postoperative recovery is an individual process involving subjective experiences. The fact that children still experience high rates of complications associated with surgery requires the discovery of new evaluation methods. No studies in Turkey have reported a measurement instrument evaluating postoperative recovery in children. The purpose of this methodological study is to cross-culturally adapt the Postoperative Recovery in Children (PRiC) instrument into the Turkish language and test the validity and reliability of its Turkish version. ⋯ The Turkish version of PRiC has good reliability and validity. A validity and reliability study of PRiC to assess children's postoperative recovery in the context of different surgical operations should be conducted.
