Perioperative respiratory complications after adenotonsillectomy (T&A) are common and have been described to occur more frequently in children below 3 years of age, those with cranio-facial abnormalities, Down syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, morbid obesity, failure thrive.To investigate the association between awake vs deep tracheal extubation perioperative conditions.The primary outcome was any complication. Major included need for airway reinstrumentation, continuous or bi-level...
Summary Background Laparoscopic appendectomy is a common emergency pediatric surgery procedure accompanied by substantial pain (pain scores >4 for >60% of the time) in 33% these patients. We introduced bundle management interventions including local anesthetic infiltration at incision site, intravenous ( IV ) opioids patient‐controlled analgesia PCA ), and scheduled doses ketorolac oral acetaminophen/hydrocodone. Objectives To evaluate effect on control after laparoscopic appendectomy....
Abstract Background Intraoperative Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (iCRRT) can prevent life‐threatening complications, facilitate fluid management, and maintain metabolic homeostasis during liver transplantation (LT) in adults. There is a paucity of data pediatric LT. We evaluated the safety, efficacy, impact on survival iCRRT Methods conducted retrospective cohort study all children requiring CRRT pre‐OLT at quaternary children's hospital from 2014 to 2022. Demographic characteristics,...
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the incidence perioperative respiratory complications in children following tonsillectomy with cold and hot dissection surgical techniques. Study Design a retrospective cohort study. Setting Retrospective chart review performed for all presenting at Texas Children’s Hospital from November 2015 December 2017. Methods Pre‐ intraoperative patient factors, including technique or (electrocautery radiofrequency ablation), anesthetic factors were...
The aim of this study was to evaluate single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction (ssLTR) outcomes before and after the implementation a postoperative care protocol in pediatric patients.A case-control with chart review conducted at 2 tertiary academic centers from 2010 2016. Pediatric patients who underwent ssLTR were compared those did not receive under protocol. Data regarding perioperative management collected using χ2 Wilcoxon rank tests. Planned extubation, length intubation intensive...
Abstract Purpose Postoperative analgesic requirements in adults follow circadian rhythm patterns with for opioids and local anesthetics highest the morning. Procedure time of day may also potentially affect surgery at night promoting wakefulness during nighttime hours. This disruption produce a shift when postoperative opioid are highest. We hypothesized that children undergoing would have higher hours secondary to those remaining than daytime duration hospital stay. Methods A retrospective...
Objective The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for perioperative complications and long‐term morbidity in infants from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) presenting a tracheostomy. Methods This single‐center retrospective cohort included NICU tracheostomy August 2011 December 2019. Primary outcomes were categorized as either complication or morbidity. A severe defined having (1) an intraoperative cardiopulmonary arrest, (2) death, (3) postoperative arrest within 30...
Die Adeno-Tonsillektomie (AT/TE) ist die häufigste Operation im Kindesalter. Diese Studie vergleicht respiratorischen Komplikationen nach AT/TE bei Kindern schlafender bzw. wacher Extubation.
Not meeting recommended A1C targets may be associated with postoperative complications in adults, but there are no studies reporting on the relationship between preoperative and children type 1 or 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine whether elevated levels were an increased incidence diabetes presenting for elective noncardiac surgery diagnostic procedures. It found such association, suggesting need delay until is optimized.

Introduction: Intraoperative Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (ICKRT) has been reported to prevent critical complications, facilitate fluid management and maintain metabolic homeostasis during orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) in adults with severe pre-LT renal dysfunction. However, there are no studies date describing indications, safety, feasibility efficacy of ICKRT critically ill infants children failure. We describe our experience pediatric LT. Methods: performed a...
