We did not find any significant difference between the predicted difficult airways sample and the rest of the population.

VL3 videolaryngoscope showed to be an effective and safe device for routine TI, even in those patients with predicted difficult airway. More studies are needed to confirm our findings and verify its efficacy even in other settings.

Anaesthesia for children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ranges from moderate to deep sedation in order to facilitate uninterrupted completion of the scan. While various intravenous and inhalational techniques of anaesthesia have their own merits and demerits, there is a paucity of comparative literature between the two in children undergoing diagnostic MRI.

This prospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Radiology suite of a 2800-bedded tertiary care hospital, wherein 107 unpremedicated children between the ages of 6 months to 15 years received either sedation with propofol infusion (Group GSP,

= 57) or inhalational anaesthesia with a laryngeal mask airway (Group GAL,

= 50). Primary outcome measures included time to induction and time to recovery. Secondary outcomes comprised the incidence of respiratory and non-respiratory adverse events in the two groups.

The median time to induction was significantly shorter in GSP than GAL [7.00 (IQR 5.0, 10.0) versus 10.00 minutes (IQR 8.8, 13.0),

< 0.001]; the incidence of desaturation [8 (16.0%) in GAL, 1 (1.8%) in GSP,

= 0.012], laryngospasm [11 (22.4%) in GAL, 1 (1.8%) in GSP,

= 0.001] and emergence delirium (5 (10%) in GAL, 0 in GSP,

= 0.047) were significantly greater in the GAL group. There was no difference in the time to emergence, nausea and vomiting or bradycardia between the two groups.

Sedation with propofol infusion during paediatric MRI scan offers a short turnover time and favourable adverse event profile when compared to inhalational anaesthesia with an LMA.

Spinal anesthesia is a technique performed since more than a century and the introduction of hyperbaric anesthetics allowed the anesthesiologists to be more selective when using this technique. The aim of this study is to show the

flow patterns of a hyperbaric dye solution through 27 G Quincke and Sprotte spinal needles, injected at different speeds, in a lower-density fluid.

A simulator was made using a gummy-like sponge and a disposable plastic urine glass, filled with saline solution, which has a similar density to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A hyperbaric dye solution was composed by mixing 3 ml of plain methylene blue with 1 ml of glucose 33%. We used both 27 G Quincke and Sprotte spinal needles to perform a bevel up and a bevel down injection with both slow (15 s) and fast (4 s) injection speed of 0.5 mL hyperbaric dye solution. All the injections were performed using a preset syringe pump and recorded by a camera.

The least selectivity was observed after a bevel up-fast injection through the 27 G Sprotte needle, followed by both bevel up and down fast injections through the 27 G Quincke needle. On the contrary, the best selectivity was observed after a bevel down-slow injection through the 27 G Sprotte needle, followed by both bevel up and down slow injections through the 27 G Quincke needle.

When a 27 G Sprotte needle is used to inject a hyperbaric solution in a lower-density fluid-like CSF, the spread depends on both the bevel direction and the injection speed.

Continuous wound infusion (CWI) with local anesthetics is useful as a method of pain management after abdominal surgery. However, there have been no studies regarding the obstruction of multi-holed catheters in this application.

We conducted from July to November 2015. In the first portion of the study, we obtained 34 catheters used postoperatively with open gynecologic surgery, and evaluated the status of each hole

. Each catheter had eight holes, and we investigated the number of open holes after the removal of the catheter. In the second portion of the study, we reviewed pathological specimens from four occluded catheters. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical software MedCalc™ (MedCalc, Ostend, Belgium), and intergroup comparisons were made with independent sample

-test. Data are expressed by mean and standard deviation.

In each catheter, the number of remaining open holes was 0-7, and there were no catheters with all eight holes still open. Although the occlusion may be occurred after the end of infusion, 38.2% (

= 12) did not have any open holes remaining in our investigation. The composition of the emboli in the catheters was clotted blood and plasma, with a mass of fibrin and possibly some inflammation around the embolus.

Occlusion of these catheters occurs at a very high rate, and the catheter embolus might be composed of clotted blood, plasma, and/or fibrin.

To compare the anesthetic performances of 3% prilocaine and 4% articaine when used for the extraction of the maxillary teeth.

Ninety-five patients, aged between 16 and 70 years, were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups. Group one received articaine 4% with 100.000 adrenaline. Group two received prilocaine with 3% felypressin (0.03 I.U. per ml). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pf-03084014-pf-3084014.html Onset time of anesthesia was objectively evaluated by using electronic pulp testing.

Eighty-five patients in this study had a successful local anesthetic followed by extraction within the study duration time (10 minutes). However, there were six patients with failure anesthesia (5 in prilocaine group and 1 in articaine group). By applying Person's Chi-square test (x2), there were no significant differences in the number of episodes of the anesthetic success between articaine and prilocaine groups at time intervals (

= 0.5). T-test showed that there have been no important variations within the mean onset time of anesthesia for articaine and prilocaine buccal infiltrations (

= 0.
