Summary Background Early negative postoperative behavior (e‐ PONB ) is common in children and manifests itself as emergence agitation ( EA ), delirium ED pain. The objective of this prospective double blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial was to determine whether IV clonidine or fentanyl prior surgery modifies e‐ children. Methods Ninety scheduled for subumbilical under sevoflurane anesthesia supplemented with regional were randomized either receive 2 mcg·kg −1 , placebo saline) before...

In Brief BACKGROUND: Studies evaluating intraperitoneal local anesthetic instillation for pain relief after laparoscopic procedures have reported conflicting results. this randomized, double-blind study we assessed the effects of nebulization on cholecystectomy. METHODS: Patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to receive either ropivacaine 0.5%, 20 mL induction pneumoperitoneum, or 1%, 3 before and surgery. Anesthetic surgical techniques standardized. Degree at...

Background: Although Moral Distress (MD) is a matter of concern within the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), there no validated Italian instrument for measuring phenomenon in nurses and physicians who care pediatric patients Care. The authors Scale-Revised (Italian MDS-R), adult setting, 2017, invited further research to evaluate generalizability scale clinicians working other fields. Our study aims reduce this knowledge gap by developing validating version MDS-R. Methods: We evaluated...

Unsettled behaviors characterize the early phase after general anaesthesia in pediatric population up to 80% of cases. Emergence delirium (ED) and acute pain are two most relevant sources this phenomenon. Research clinical guidelines difficult implement due variability definition unsettled behavior measurement different components. The probable incidence ED is between 10% 20%, potential risk factors could be summarized as young age, male gender, preoperative anxiety, baseline...

The evidence supporting the use of pharmacological treatments in pediatric chronic pain is limited. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) and conditioned modulation evaluation (CPM) provide information on phenotype, which may help clinicians to tailor treatment. This retrospective study aimed evaluate association between QST/CPM phenotyping selection treatment for children with conditions. We retrospectively analyzed medical records 208 female patients (mean age 15 ± 2 years) enrolled an...
