Randomized Controlled Trial
Mother's recorded voice on emergence can decrease postoperative emergence delirium from general anaesthesia in paediatric patients: a prospective randomised controlled trial.
Emergence delirium is a behavioural disturbance after general anaesthesia in children that can distress patients, parents, and primary caregivers. We hypothesised that listening to the mother's recorded voice can reduce ED compared with listening to a stranger's recorded voice. ⋯ NCT 02955680.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of nebulised dexmedetomidine, ketamine, or midazolam for premedication in preschool children undergoing bone marrow biopsy.
The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine, ketamine, and midazolam for sedative premedication administered by nebuliser 30 min before general anaesthesia in preschool children undergoing bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. ⋯ NCT02935959.

Tracheal tube tip and cuff positions of different cuffed paediatric tracheal tube brands in the trachea can vary with design. ⋯ All studied cuffed paediatric tracheal tubes have major design flaws potentially leading to airway complications. Tracheal tube manufacturers are urgently asked to improve the design of cuffed paediatric tracheal tubes. Alternative strategies for tracheal tube placement can allow safe tracheal tube placement of uncuffed but not of cuffed tracheal tubes.

The influence of dexmedetomidine on postoperative delirium (POD) in adult surgical patients remains controversial. We aimed to analyse whether dexmedetomidine use could decrease POD incidence in this population and its relation to timing of dexmedetomidine administration and patient age. ⋯ PROSPERO: CRD42017072380.
