Effect of Thermal Softening of Endotracheal Tubes on Perioperative Respiratory Adverse Events in Children Undergoing Adenotonsillectomy

Authors: Mustafa Dikici et al Pediatric Anesthesia September 2026 Background Perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) are a major source of morbidity in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy (AT). Thermal softening of polyvinyl chloride endotracheal tubes (ETTs) has been proposed to reduce airway irritation, yet its effect on PRAE incidence in the pediatric setting remains unclear. We sought […]

Continuous Wrist-Derived Heart Rate Correlates With mYPAS Scores and Detects Between-Assessment Heart-Rate Elevations in Children

Authors: Shawn D. Safford et al Pediatric Anesthesia September 2026 Background Perioperative anxiety affects most children undergoing surgery and predicts emergence delirium, postoperative pain, and behavioral change. The validated modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) is scored at only a few discrete timepoints, leaving physiologic status between assessments unmeasured. Aims We tested whether continuous wearable […]
