Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialOral midazolam with an antacid may increase the speed of onset of sedation in children prior to general anaesthesia.
The aim of the study was to see whether sodium citrate solution would speed the gastric absorption of oral midazolam. ⋯ The time to onset of sedation can potentially be shortened, by using a preparation of intravenous midazolam and antacid, given orally.

Multicenter StudyA survey of practice of tracheal intubation without muscle relaxant in paediatric patients.
Because of the renewed interest in intubation in children without relaxants, over a period of 1 month, the anaesthesiologists of five paediatric universitary teaching hospitals were asked to complete a questionnaire each time they performed a tracheal intubation without muscle relaxant. ⋯ Sevoflurane is the most commonly used agent for tracheal intubation without relaxants with higher doses being required in infants aged less than 6 months. Propofol, even with opioids, was not so successful.

Comparative StudyRegional anaesthesia decreases the need for postoperative mechanical ventilation in very low birth weight infants undergoing herniorrhaphy.
We were interested to know whether regional anaesthesia allowed improved respiratory function postoperatively in very low birth weight babies. ⋯ Regional anaesthesia decreases the need for postoperative ventilatory support requirements in very low birth weight infants undergoing herniorrhaphy.
