Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary Aspiration in Pediatric Patients During General Anesthesia: Incidence and Outcome
Lawrence M. Borland,Susan M. Sereika,Susan K. Woelfel,Edward W. Saitz,Pamela A Carrillo,Judy L Lupin,Etsuro K. Motoyama +6 more
TL;DR: The overall incidence of anesthesia-related aspiration in this series was twice that reported in studies of adults, and four times higher for those at highest risk, and routine prophylactic administration of histamine blockers or propulsive drugs in healthy pediatric patients is unwarranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isoflurane for refractory status epilepticus: a clinical series.
W. A. Kofke,Richard V. Young,Peter L. Davis,Susan K. Woelfel,Lenore Gray,Dean Johnson,Adrian W. Gelb,Rodney I. Meeke,David S. Warner,Kent S. Pearson,Jeff Gibson,John Koncelik,Henry B. Wessel +12 more
TL;DR: The cases suggest that isoflurane is an effective, rapidly titratable anticonvulsant that does not reverse underlying causes of the refractory seizures, and usually necessitates hemodynamic support with fluids and/or pressors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized, double-blinded study of remifentanil versus fentanyl for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy surgery in pediatric ambulatory surgical patients
Peter J. Davis,Julia C. Finkel,Rosemary J. Orr,Lisa Fazi,John J. Mulroy,Susan K. Woelfel,Raafat S. Hannallah,Anne M. Lynn,C. Dean Kurth,Michele Moro,Lynn Graham Henson,David Goodman,Meredith D. Decker +12 more
TL;DR: The frequent incidence of postoperative pain observed in the postoperative recovery room suggests that better intraoperative prophylactic analgesic regimens for postoperativePain control are necessary to optimize remifentanil's use as an anesthetic for children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Bolus Administration of ORG-9426 in Children during Nitrous Oxide–Halothane Anesthesia
TL;DR: The dose-response relationship of ORG-9426 in 62 children during nitrous oxide-halothane anesthesia was determined by means of log-probit transformation and least-squares linear regression of the initial dose and response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mivacurium infusion requirements in pediatric surgical patients during nitrous oxide-halothane and during nitrous oxide-narcotic anesthesia.
Barbara W. Brandom,J. B. Sarner,Susan K. Woelfel,M. L. Dong,Michael Horn,Lawrence M. Borland,David R. Cook,V. J. Foster,Barbara McNulty,J. N. Weakly +9 more
TL;DR: Pseudocholinesterase activity is the major factor influencing mivacurium infusion rate in children during nitrous oxide-narcotic or nitrousoxide-halothane (0.8% end-tidal) anesthesia.
