The prevalence and risk factors for residual neuromuscular blockade in children remain poorly characterized. We hypothesize that specific patient and anesthetic risk factors may be associated with the administration of additional reversal in children following initial reversal of rocuronium with neostigmine.

An increasing number of children undergo magnetic resonance imaging requiring anesthesia or sedation to ensure their immobility; however, magnetic resonance imaging may increase body temperature whereas sedation or anesthesia may decrease it. We investigated changes in body temperature in children who underwent sedation or anesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging.

In order to prevent in‐hospital transmission and potential complications related to SARS‐CoV‐2 in the perioperative patient, most healthcare institutions require preoperative testing for SARS‐CoV‐2 prior to proceeding with elective surgery. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a time and symptom‐based duration of isolation for the presumed infectious period. The guidance to avoid retesting of asymptomatic patients in the 90 days following a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) test is because of the possibility of detection of non‐infectious viral shedding. When to reschedule asymptomatic patients who test RT‐PCR positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 preoperatively is of considerable debate, both from the perspective of ensuring a patient's full preoperative fitness, as well as reducing the risk of viral transmission within the hospital. We describe the novel perioperative use of a strand‐specific assay to detect minus strand ribonucleic acid (RNA) in a clinical decision‐making algorithm to determine optimal timing of elective surgery after a patient tests RT‐PCR positive for SARS‐CoV‐2. This is the first description in the literature of an attempt to further stratify patients who repeatedly test positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 into infectious versus non‐infectious for perioperative planning.

Pediatric intravenous catheter insertion can be difficult in the operating room due to the technical challenges of small diameter vessels and the need to rapidly gain intravenous access in anesthetized children. Few studies have examined factors associated with difficult vascular access in the operating room, especially accounting for the increased possibility to use ultrasound guidance.

Neonatal surgery and concomitant anesthesia coincide with a timeframe of rapid brain development. The speed and complexity of early brain development superimposed on immature regulatory mechanisms that include incomplete cerebral autoregulation, insufficient free radical scavenging and an immature immune response puts the brain at risk. Brain injury may have long‐term consequences for multiple functional domains including cognition, learning skills, and behavior. Neurodevelopmental follow‐up studies have noted mild‐to‐moderate deficits in children who underwent major neonatal surgery and related anesthesia. The present review evaluates neonatal surgery against the background of neurobiological processes that unfold at a pace unparalleled by any other period of human brain development. First, a structured summary of early brain development is provided in order to establish theoretical groundwork. Next, literature on brain injury and neurodevelopmental outcome after neonatal surgery is discussed. Special attention is given to recent findings of structural brain damage reported after neonatal surgery. Notably, high‐quality imaging data acquired before surgery are currently lacking. Third, mechanisms of injury are interrogated taking the perspective of early brain development into account. We propose a novel disease model that constitutes a triad of inflammation, vascular immaturity, and neurotoxicity of prolonged exposure to anesthetic drugs. With each of these components exacerbating the other, this amalgam incites the perfect storm, resulting in brain injury. When examining the brain, it seems intuitive to distinguish between neonates (i.e., <60 postconceptional weeks) and more mature infants, multiple and/or prolonged anesthesia exposure and single, short surgery. This review culminates in an outline of anesthetic considerations and future directions that we believe will help move the field forward.
