Comparative Study[Effects of ketamine and propofol on oxygen status and blood content of the brain in children].
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used for noninvasive measurement of oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) and total hemoglobin (tHb) in cerebral tissue and for evaluating local hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (rSO2) and cytochrome oxidase (Cytaa3) redox status in 68 children (6-14 years) during intravenous induction anesthesia with various anesthetics. Monoanesthesia with ketamine essentially increased the level of tHb and rSO2 and decreased the oxidized Cytaa3 fraction. Combined induction with ketamine and midazolame and propofol induction did not cause notable changes in the values of cerebral oxymetry.

Comparative Study[Experience in the use of needle peripheral venous catheters in children].
The use of peripheral venous catheters manufactured by Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd. in children was evaluated in terms of painfulness of venipuncture and cannulation, number of attempts needed to succeed, convenience of handling, and duration of the cannulation period. The intravenous catheters of Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd. minimized the pain of venipuncture and cannulation and proved to be safe and convenient for patients and nursing staff.
