[Ventilation using jet-ventilation during fiber-optic bronchoscopy in children under 5 years old. Apropos of 100 case reports].
The authors report an original procedure for respiratory assistance during flexible bronchoscopy in infants and toddlers. The injector is directly connected with the operating channel of the bronchoscope. Ventilation parameters are pre-regulated before introducing the fiberscope into the respiratory tree. ⋯ Baro-traumatic accidents did not occur, despite poor physical conditions in many cases. The procedure was safe for the infants and convenient for the physicians. In this way, it could be recommended for flexible bronchoscopy in infants and toddlers with poor condition or when excessive duration of the examination could be required (diagnostic or therapeutic procedures associated).

Comparative Study[Peridural analgesia with 0.375 percent bupivacaine in labor with dystocia].
For dystoctic deliveries peridural analgesia with bupivacaine 0.25% was compared with bupivacaine 0.375%, without adrenalin. Shortening of the delivery time in cases of stagnation of dilatation, was obtained with bupivacaine 0.375%: 181 mn in the average instead of 276 mn with bupivacaine 0.25% (p = 0.05). In the case of a cervical spasm, there was release of the contraction with return of a normal dilatation leading to a shorter labour: 188 mn in the average against 340 mn (p = 0.02) with the 0.25% solution. Apgar scores were similar in both series.
