Impact of anesthetic agents on cerebrovascular physiology in children.
TLDR
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.read more

Age-Related Changes in Cerebral Hemodynamics in Children Undergoing Congenital Cardiac Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
TL;DR: In this paper , a single-center study based at a tertiary care center in Shanghai, China, was conducted to explore age-related cerebral hemodynamic characteristics before and after pediatric cardiac surgery.

Impact of cardiopulmonary bypass on cerebrovascular autoregulation assessed by ultrafast ultrasound imaging
Julien Aguet,Nikan Fakhari,M. Nguyen,Luc Martens,Előd L. Szabó,Birgit Ertl-Wagner,L. Crawford,Christoph Haller,David Barron,Jerome Baranger,Olivier Villemain +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a novel ultrasound technique, ultrafast power Doppler (UPD), was used to assess variations of cerebral blood volume (CBV) in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery requiring CPB.

Does sevoflurane sedation in pediatric patients lead to “pseudo” leptomeningeal enhancement in the brain on 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging?
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors determined whether sevoflurane inhalation in pediatric patients led to a pattern of pseudo leptomeningeal contrast enhancement (pLMCE) on 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Effect of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide on Cerebral Dynamics in Infants With Ventricular Septal Defect: A Comparison Between Sevoflurane and Intravenous Anesthetics.
TL;DR: Cerebrovascular response to different PETCO2 levels was preserved and similar during clinically relevant doses of sevoflurane anesthesia and midazolam-sufentanil based intravenous anesthesia in infants younger than 6 months old undergoing VSD repair.

Anesthetic Considerations for Supratentorial Space-Occupying Lesions in Children
TL;DR: The supratentorial space-occupying lesions (SOLs) in children are mostly composed of intracranial tumors but may also be due to the presence of abscesses, cysts, hematomas, or other lesions as discussed by the authors.

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.

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.

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
Kaike K. Kaisti,Jaakko Långsjö,Sargo Aalto,Vesa Oikonen,Hannu Sipilä,Mika Teräs,Susanna Hinkka,Liisa Metsähonkala,Harry Scheinin +8 more
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.
