The understanding of the effects of anesthetic agents on the physiology of cerebral vasculature in the pediatric population has significantly increased in the past decade allowing a more rationale decision making in anesthesia management.
Abstract
care to children with neurologic pathologies. The cerebral physiology is influenced by the developmental stage of the child. The understanding of the effects of anesthetic agents on the physiology of cerebral vasculature in the pediatric population has significantly increased in the past decade allowing a more rationale decision making in anesthesia management. Although no single anesthetic technique can be recommended, sound knowledge of the principles of cerebral physiology and anesthetic neuropharmacology will facilitate the care of pediatric neurosurgical patients.

Volatiles or TIVA: Which is the standard of care for pediatric airway procedures? A pro-con discussion.

TL;DR: This pro‐con discussion examines both volatiles and TIVA, from the perspective of effectiveness, safety, cost, and environmental impact, in an endeavor to justify which technique is the best specifically for pediatric airway procedures.

Effects of hemodilution after traumatic brain injury in juvenile rats.

TL;DR: This study investigated the effects of normovolemic hemodilution (21% hematocrit) in a juvenile TBI (jTBI) model and found it safe and effective in both the acute and chronic phases of TBI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Sedation Performed by an Anesthesiologist on Pediatric Endoscopy: a Single-Center Retrospective Study in Korea

TL;DR: When sedation is performed by an anesthesiologist, various drugs are used with sufficient doses and complications are reduced, but the discharge time does not change, whereas for performing pediatric endoscopy in Korea, anesthesiologists should be considered for inducing anesthesia.

Elevated Cerebral Blood Volume Contributes to Increased FLAIR Signal in the Cerebral Sulci of Propofol-Sedated Children

TL;DR: Elevated cortical CBV appears to contribute to increased signal intensity in sulci on noncontrast FLAIR in propofol-sedated children, and the effects of prop ofol on age-related cerebral perfusion and vascular permeability may play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining hypotension in anesthetized infants by individual awake blood pressure values: a prospective observational study

TL;DR: Blood pressure is the most commonly applied clinical surrogate parameter for tissue perfusion and cerebral autoregulation and Hypotension during anesthesia may contribute to unfavorable outcome in young children.

Compartmental analysis of compliance and outflow resistance of the cerebrospinal fluid system

TL;DR: The distribution of compliance and outflow resistance between cerebral and spinal compartments was measured in anesthetized, ventilated cats by analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure response to changes in CSF volume.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired autoregulation of cerebral blood flow in the distressed newborn infant

TL;DR: Cerebral blood flow was measured, using the 133Xe clearance technique, a few hours after birth in 19 infants with varying degrees of respiratory distress syndrome, showing a linear relationship that was identical in infants with asphyxia at birth and infants with RDS only.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Adrenal Steroidogenesis by the Anesthetic Etomidate

TL;DR: Physicians should be aware that etomidate inhibits adrenal steroidogenesis, and they should consider treating selected patients with corticosteroids if etamidate is used.

Effects of sevoflurane, propofol, and adjunct nitrous oxide on regional cerebral blood flow, oxygen consumption, and blood volume in humans

TL;DR: The effects of sevoflurane and propofol as sole anesthetics and in combination with N2O on regional cerebral blood flow, metabolic rate of oxygen (rCMRO2), and blood volume (rCBV) in the living human brain using positron emission tomography are quantified.
