Cerebral oxygenation is not always reflected by systemic arterial oxygenation. Therefore,
regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy …

Infants who undergo surgical procedures in the first few months of life are at a higher risk of
death or subsequent neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Although the pathogenesis of …

Background In pediatric anesthesia, preoperative fasting guidelines are still often exceeded.
Objective The objective of this noninterventional clinical observational cohort study was to …

Background: Children are required to fast before elective general anesthesia. This study
hypothesized that prolonged fasting causes volume depletion that manifests as low blood …

Background: General anesthesia during infancy is associated with neurocognitive
abnormalities. Potential mechanisms include anesthetic neurotoxicity, surgical disease, and …

Safeguarding cerebral function is of major importance during pediatric anesthesia.
Premature, ex‐premature, and full‐term neonates can be vulnerable to physiological …

Background Neonates undergoing surgery and intensive care still carry a significant
morbidity and mortality often related to hypoxic/ischemic events; some of which may go …

Background The recommended dose of ephedrine in adults (0.1 mg kg− 1) frequently fails to
treat hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia in neonates and infants less than 6 …

During recent years, a lot of interest has been focused on blood pressure in the context of
pediatric anesthesia, trying to define what is normal in relation to age and what numeric …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that is easy to use and can provide
helpful information about organ oxygenation and perfusion by measuring regional tissue …
