Pediatric Anesthesia

01/01/2018 - "The aim of this study was to psychometrically evaluate the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale, focusing on the factor structure, in a sample of children recovering from anesthesia after surgery or diagnostic procedures. "
01/01/2017 - "Only studies that used the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale to quantify the degree of emergence delirium were included in the review. "
07/01/2015 - "We collected Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale scores from included studies. "
11/16/2023 - "Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) has been reported most commonly in younger children and may occur in about 30% of children up to 5-6 years old. "
11/16/2023 - "Emergence agitation or emergence delirium is a common complication of unknown etiology in pediatric anesthesia. "

01/01/2022 - "Pediatric Anesthesia Emergency Delirium (PAED) score was evaluated after postoperative extubation. "
02/01/2021 - "Anxiety levels and behavior were measured using five well-established scales: the modified Yale Preoperative Scale-Short Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-6 items, the Watcha score, the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergent Delirium scale, and the Posthospitalization Behavioral Questionnaire-Ambulatory Surgery. "
12/01/2021 - "Subgroup analyses based on age (i.e., ≤7 years) and a validated scoring system (i.e., the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale) for delirium also suggested a better efficacy of combination therapies than monotherapies. "
01/01/2019 - "We also used the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) to assess the level of agitation and delirium at the full recovery phase from anesthesia in the recovery area. "
06/01/2015 - "The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale (5.2 ± 5.3 vs. 7.1 ± 5.2 in the Dex and Mid groups, respectively; P = 0.016) and the incidence of delirium (18.2 vs. 32.0 % in the Dex and Mid groups, respectively; P = 0.039) were significantly lower in the Dex group than in the Mid group. "

07/01/2013 - "Clinical outcomes in pediatric anesthesia have improved significantly over the last 20-30 years but unexpected laryngospasm that is difficult to treat can still result in patient morbidity, increased postoperative medical management and unnecessary hospital admission. "
07/01/2013 - "Therefore, we applied quality improvement (QI) methodology to: (i) identify the etiology and contributing factors that lead to unanticipated incidents during pediatric anesthesia care; and (ii) decrease the incidence of laryngospasm during pediatric anesthesia care by focusing on awareness, preparedness, education and knowledge translation. "
07/01/2013 - "The incidence of laryngospasm in pediatric anesthesia is difficult to determine with incidences from 0.9% to as high as 14% quoted in the literature. "
07/01/2013 - "Interventions guided by analysis of quality indicators decrease the frequency of laryngospasm during pediatric anesthesia."
11/01/2008 - "We report two cases of pediatric anesthesia, in a three-year old and six month-old patients, who developed laryngeal spasm. "

10/01/2023 - "An improved bite block used in pediatric anesthesia."
06/01/2009 - "Use of bite blocks for pediatric anesthesia."
06/01/2009 - "Safe use of home-made gauze bite blocks in pediatric anesthesia."
12/01/2008 - "Bite blocks for use in pediatric anesthesia."

06/01/2013 - "The new forced-air warming system as a sole warming device is effective in preventing perioperative hypothermia during pediatric anesthesia in neonates and infants."
12/01/2019 - "Significant factors influencing inadvertent hypothermia in pediatric anesthesia."
06/01/2013 - "A number of methods to prevent hypothermia during pediatric anesthesia are in use, and despite the fact that conventional forced-air warmers are the most effective devices, they are not always sufficient enough to maintain body temperature. "
