Abstract BACKGROUND: The removal of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA®) in children may be associated with respiratory adverse events. The rate of occurrence of these adverse events may be influenced by the type of anesthesia. Studies comparing total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol […]
Read MoreAuthor: Hanna Flynn MedicalNewsToday Cluster headaches affect more men than women. However, the gap in diagnosis is narrowing. It is a severely painful condition that can prove debilitation to people affected. Researchers have been aware of the differences between the sexes in the symptoms and triggers for the condition. A recent study of a Swedish […]
Read Moreby SmartTots Nov 2, 2022 Background: In experimental animal studies, exposure to general anesthesia in early childhood may results in changes in infant brain morphology and behavior, potentially leading to the development of autistic behaviors in the long-term. However, in clinical studies the role of exposure to general anesthesia in early childhood and the risk of autism is […]

BACKGROUND: Various regional analgesic techniques have been used in pediatric inguinal surgery to facilitate postoperative recovery. However, each technique’s relative performance was undetermined owing to the lack of quantitative analysis. Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science for […]
