The effects and analgesic adequacy of intrathecal morphine (ITM) administration have been studied less frequently than other regional analgesia techniques in pediatric surgical procedures. ⋯ Administration of 5 µg/kg ITM can be used for postoperative analgesia in pediatric surgery in all age groups, with no severe adverse events and high nurse satisfaction with analgesic management.

Guided vs. non-guided insertion of Ambu AuraGain™ in edentulous patients.
Supraglottic airway devices perform more poorly and have lower oropharyngeal leak pressure in edentulous patients than in patients with teeth. The Ambu Aura Gain is a newer second generation supraglottic airway device. ⋯ A guided insertion technique does not improve oropharyngeal leak pressure of the Ambu AuraGain™ in edentulous patients. As the only difference is an increase in insertion time this technique is of no benefit for this population.
