Sevoflurane has been in clinical use for inhalation anesthesia for more than 20 years and has been tested in numerous studies [1]. Sevoflurane has been described as the agent of choice for mask induction in children due to itslack of airway irritation, hemodynamic characteristics, and lower pungency [2]. Inhalation induction (IND) with sevoflurane is the preferred method for anesthetizing children in pediatric anesthesia. The ideal time for intravenous (IV) cannulation following inhalational induction in children is debatable. Its rapid halothane exposure has been reported to be better in terms of safety with fewer side effects than its late location. However, its early exposure to sevoflurane is poorly studied in the literature [3]. The administration of high concentrations from the start to 7 or 8% allows a faster and often preferred IND in children. 1.1 Objective

Trisomy 18 (Edward’s Syndrome) is the second most common autosomal trisomy, occurring inone in every 3,500-8,500 births.The median postnatal survival of children with trisomy 18 is 3 to 4.5 days [1]. Congenital heart disease is observed in 90% of infants born with trisomy 18and the cardiac malformation varies from a simple left to right shunt, such as arterial septum defect or ventricular septum defect, to more complex malformations, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome.There is much controversy regarding the performance of cardiac surgery on patients with trisomy 18 because of the high risk of mortality during surgery and the postoperative period [2].

Still, arterial puncture during central venous catheterization occurs and may cause severe and potentially life-threatening complications. Here, we present three patients in whom severe complications requiring surgical or interventional procedures were required to stop cervical bleeding or occlude aneurysms spuria and re-establish compromised cerebral perfusion. Complications occurred even while ultrasound was used during cannulation attempts. With regard to the dimension and severity of sequelae which may develop after complicated puncture we would like to plead for a low threshold for performing contrast enhanced computed tomography.

The frequency of hypothermia occurring during surgery (perioperative hypothermia) is said to be as high as 44.3% of all major intra-op procedures (range of 4-73%) [1,2] .It is defined as a fall of body temperature to 36 C or less [3].This is to report our experience about an episode of hypothermia in a patient who underwent extended abdominoplasty following bariatric surgery. This report is presented, along with a comprehensive review of perioperative hypothermia and available methods of preventing its occurrence

The brain is the main site of action of anesthetic drugs. For many years, it was assumed that their effects did not go beyond their pharmacological action and that the brain was restored to its previous state once the agent was removed. However, there is increasing evidence that supports other notion. There may be long-term and even permanent anatomical and functional changes after the administration of anesthetic drugs.The brain may be more vulnerable at the first and final stages of life.

Introduction: The ultrasound-guided erector spinae block is an analgesic option that has shown a positive response in postoperative pain control in spinal surgery. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine plus 0.375% ropivacaine compared with dexamethasone plus 0.375% ropivacaine administered in the ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane in the management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery at Hospital Civil de Guadalajara. Material and Methods: Fourteen patients scheduled for lumbar spine surgery were included, divided into two groups. Group A received dexmedetomidine plus ropivacaine bilaterally in the plane of the spinal erector guided by ultrasound, while group B received ropivacaine plus Bilateral dexamethasone using the same technique. Results: Post-surgical pain in group A and group B presented an average baseline pain of 3.88 ± 0.84 and 5.17 ± 1.17 on VAS, respectively. At 8 hours, an average value of 3.13 ± 1.64 and 2 ± 1.55 on VAS, at 24 hours. hours was 2.13 ± 0.84 and 2.33 ± 1.03 VAS and at 48 hours it was 1.88 ± 0.641 and 2.33 ± 1.37 VAS. Conclusions: The administration of dexamethasone generates a more effective analgesia at 8 postoperative hours compared to dexmedetomidine in our group. The spinal erector plane block is a good alternative for postsurgical pain, demonstrating efficacy and safety in patients scheduled for lumbar spine surgery.

Operative procedures vary widely and full concentration is needed for long periods of time. Anesthesiologists, including trainees and instructors, are therefore becoming increasingly stressed and exhausted. Stress is a physical and psychological response to environmental demands. Burnout of anesthesiologists is not rare [1-3]. Maintenance of anesthesiologists’ mental health has become a major concern that has been frequently reported and discussed throughout Japan [1-11].

This scientific article is devoted to the study of the effect of magnetite nanoparticles (MCS-B brand) on the functional platelets activity of human. 0.9% NaCl was used as a control. The results of the study showed that the use of NaCl saline solution shifts the colloidal suspension equilibrium of platelets towards a significant (P<0.001) increase in the rate and index of their aggregation. For the first time, the effect of 0.9% NaCl on function of platelets makes us reconsider the concept of safety of infusion solutions in patients with initial signs of platelet disorders hemostasis. On the contrary, the use of MCS-B nanoparticles significantly revealed (P<0.05) an increase in the stability of colloidal suspension of platelets. This is an important pathogenetic factor which affects the occurrence of correction of hemostasis in conditions of blood clotting disorders.
