Background
Although cerebral palsy is a risk factor for aspiration, there is insufficient research on residual gastric volume after preoperative fasting in children with cerebral palsy. We evaluated the incidence of a full stomach by ultrasound assessment of the gastric volume in children with cerebral palsy who underwent orthopedic surgery after preoperative fasting.
Methods
The patients fasted for 8 h for solid foods and 2 h for clear liquids. We obtained the gastric antral cross-sectional area using ultrasound in the semi-recumbent and right lateral decubitus positions. A calculated stomach volume > 1.5 mL.kg−1 was considered as full, which poses a high aspiration risk. The primary outcome was the incidence of full stomach, and the secondary outcomes were the qualitative gastric volume, correlation of disease severity categorized according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System with the residual gastric volume, gastric volume per body weight, and qualitative gastric volume.
Results
Thirty-seven pediatric patients with cerebral palsy, scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery, were included for analysis. Full-stomach status was observed in none, and the gastric volume per body weight was 0.5 (0.4–0.7) mL.kg−1. No significant differences were observed in the residual gastric volume (p = 0.114), gastric volume per body weight (p = 0.117), or qualitative grade of gastric volume (p = 0.642) in relation to disease severities.
Conclusion
Children with cerebral palsy who fasted preoperatively had empty or nearly empty stomachs. Further studies are required to determine the optimal fasting duration for such children.

This study aimed to compare the predictive value of Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) to Pediatric Risk of Mortality-3 (PRISM-3), Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS), and Pediatric Glasgow Coma Score (pGCS) in determining clinical severity and mortality among critical pediatric trauma patients.
Method
A total of 122 patients monitored due to trauma in the pediatric intensive care unit between 2020 and 2023 were included in the study. Physical examination findings, vital parameters, laboratory values, and all scoring calculations for patients during emergency room admissions and on the first day of intensive care follow-up were recorded. Comparisons were made between two groups identified as survivors and non-survivors.
Results
The study included 85 (69.7%) male and 37 (30.3%) female patients, with an average age of 75 ± 59 months for all patients. Forty-one patients (33.6%) required Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) and 11 patients (9%) required inotropic therapy. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between mortality and PEWS (p < 0.001), PRISM-3 (p < 0.001), PTS (p < 0.001), and pGCS (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis demonstrated that the PEWS score (cutoff > 6.5, AUC = 0.953, 95% CI 0.912–0.994) was highly predictive of mortality, showing similar performance to the PRISM-3 score (cutoff > 21, AUC = 0.999, 95% CI 0.995–1). Additionally, the PEWS score was found to be highly predictive in forecasting the need for IMV and inotropic therapy.
Conclusion
The Pediatric Early Warning Score serves as a robust determinant of mortality in critical pediatric trauma patients. Simultaneously, it demonstrates strong predictability in anticipating the need for IMV and inotropic therapy.

Background
Difficult airway, characterized by difficult mask ventilation and intubation, is common in obese patients undergoing surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the prognostic efficiency of ultrasound-measured anterior cervical soft tissue parameters as an indicator of difficult airway during anesthesia induction in obese patients.
Methods
This prospective, double-blind, observational study was conducted at Balikesir University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between March 2020 and March 2022. A total of 157 patients age ≥ 18 (BMI ≥ 30 kg.m-2), without previous head and neck surgery were included in the study. Anterior cervical soft tissue measurements were performed at three levels; minimum distance between the hyoid bone and skin at the level of the hyoid bone; (DSHB), distance between the midpoint of the epiglottis and skin at the level of the thyrohyoid membrane; (DSE), distance between the anterior commissure of vocal cords and skin at the vocal cord level; (DSV). The Han scale was used to assess difficult mask ventilation and the Cormack-Lehane scale was used to assess difficult laryngoscopy.
Results
In the difficult laryngoscopy group, the mean values of DSHB, DSE and DSV were 18.5 ± 3.5, 18.3 ± 3.8, and 18.6 ± 3.4, respectively. The AUC values for DSHB, DSE, and DSV were 0.845, 0.827, and 0.850, respectively. Anterior cervical measurements showed a better predictive value for difficult laryngoscopy compared to difficult mask ventilation.
Conclusion
Ultrasonographic measurements were predictive for difficult laryngoscopy and ventilation with better correlation in laryngoscopy.

Background
Dexmedetomidine, a highly selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist with sedative and analgesic effects, has been suggested in recent studies to possess renoprotective properties. Dexmedetomidine may reduce the incidence of delayed graft function and contribute to effective pain control post-renal transplantation. The primary objective of this systematic review was to assess whether dexmedetomidine decreases the occurrence of delayed graft function in renal transplant patients.
Methods
Databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were comprehensively searched from their inception until March 2023. The inclusion criteria covered all Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing dexmedetomidine to control in adult patients undergoing renal transplant surgery. Exclusions comprised case series and case reports.
Results
Ten RCTs involving a total of 1358 patients met the eligibility criteria for data synthesis. Compared to the control group, the dexmedetomidine group demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of delayed graft function (OR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.52–0.97, p = 0.03, GRADE: Very low, I2 = 0%). Dexmedetomidine also significantly prolonged time to initiation of rescue analgesia (MD = 6.73, 95% CI 2.32–11.14, p = 0.003, GRADE: Very low, I2 = 93%) and reduced overall morphine consumption after renal transplant (MD = -5.43, 95% CI -7.95 to -2.91, p < 0.0001, GRADE: Very low, I2 = 0%). The dexmedetomidine group exhibited a significant decrease in heart rate (MD = -8.15, 95% CI -11.45 to -4.86, p < 0.00001, GRADE: Very low, I2 = 84%) and mean arterial pressure compared to the control group (MD = -6.66, 95% CI -11.27 to -2.04, p = 0.005, GRADE: Very low, I2 = 87%).
Conclusions
This meta-analysis suggests that dexmedetomidine may potentially reduce the incidence of delayed graft function and offers a superior analgesia profile as compared to control in adults undergoing renal transplants. However, the high degree of heterogeneity and inadequate sample size underscore the need for future adequately powered trials to confirm these findings.
背景:右美托咪定是一种高选择性α-2肾上腺素受体激动剂,具有镇静和镇痛作用,最近的研究表明它具有肾脏保护特性。右美托咪定可降低移植功能延迟的发生率,并有助于有效控制肾移植后的疼痛。本系统综述的主要目的是评估右美托咪定是否能降低肾移植患者移植物功能延迟的发生率:方法:对包括 MEDLINE、EMBASE 和 CENTRAL 在内的数据库进行了全面检索,检索时间从开始到 2023 年 3 月。纳入标准包括所有随机临床试验(RCT)和观察性研究,对接受肾移植手术的成年患者进行右美托咪定与对照组的比较。排除病例系列和病例报告:共有 10 项 RCT(涉及 1,358 名患者)符合数据综合的资格标准。与对照组相比,右美托咪定组的移植物功能延迟发生率显著降低(OR = 0.71,95% CI 0.52-0.97,p = 0.03,GRADE:极低,I2 = 0%)。右美托咪定还显著延长了开始抢救性镇痛的时间(MD = 6.73,95% CI 2.32-11.14,p = 0.003,GRADE:极低,I2 = 93%),并减少了肾移植后吗啡的总体用量(MD = -5.43,95% CI -7.95--2.91,p < 0.0001,GRADE:极低,I2 = 0%)。与对照组相比,右美托咪定组的心率(MD = -8.15,95% CI -11.45 to -4.86,p < 0.00001,GRADE:很低,I2 = 84%)和平均动脉压(MD = -6.66,95% CI -11.27 to -2.04,p = 0.005,GRADE:很低,I2 = 87%)显著下降:这项荟萃分析表明,右美托咪定有可能降低移植功能延迟的发生率,与对照组相比,右美托咪定在成人肾移植手术中的镇痛效果更好。然而,高度的异质性和样本量的不足突出表明,今后需要进行充分的试验来证实这些发现。

Background
The underlying mechanism of chronic pain involves the plasticity in synaptic receptors and neurotransmitters. This study aimed to investigate potential roles of Neuroligins (NLs) within the spinal dorsal horn of rats in a newly established Bone Cancer Pain (BCP) model. The objective was to explore the mechanism of neuroligin involved in the occurrence and development of bone cancer pain.
Methods
Using our rat BCP model, we assessed pain hypersensitivity over time. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were performed to investigate NL expression, and NLs were overexpressed in the rat spinal cord using lentiviral vectors. Immunofluorescence staining and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were deployed to investigate the role of NLs in the development of BCP.
Results
We observed reduced expression levels of NL1 and NL2, but not of NL3, within the rat spinal cord, which were found to be associated with and essential for the development of BCP in our model. Accordingly, NL1 or NL2 overexpression in the spinal cord alleviated mechanical hypersensitivity of rats. Electrophysiological experiments indicated that NL1 and NL2 are involved in BCP via regulating γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic interneuronal synapses and the activity of glutamatergic interneuronal synapses, respectively.
Conclusions
Our observations unravel the role of NLs in cancer-related chronic pain and further suggest that inhibitory mechanisms are central features of BCP in the spinal dorsal horn. These results provide a new perspective and basis for subsequent studies elucidating the onset and progression of BCP.

Background
There are few studies related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the prevalence and nature of pain symptoms after hospital discharge, especially in individuals who develop moderate to severe disease forms. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the presence of chronic pain in patients discharged after hospitalization for COVID-19, and the relationship between the presence of chronic pain and intensive care stay, demographics, and risk factors for the worst Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outcome.
Methods
A cross-sectional observational study was carried out on patients with COVID-19 who recovered after hospitalization. Patients were recruited at the least 3 months after discharge and their hospital's health files were prospected. The variables evaluated were demographics, the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection (considering the need for intensive care), and the presence of chronic pain. The results were shown in a descriptive manner, and multivariate analysis expressed as Odds Ratios (ORs) and respective Confidence Intervals (CIs) for the outcomes studied. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
Results
Of 242 individuals included, 77 (31.8%) reported chronic pain related to COVID-19, with no correlation with the severity of infection. Female sex and obesity were associated with a higher risk for chronic pain with ORs of 2.69 (Confidence Interval [95% CI 1.4 to 5.0]) and 3.02 (95% CI 1.5 to 5.9). The limbs were the most affected areas of the body.
Conclusion
Chronic pain is common among COVID-19 survivors treated in hospital environments. Female sex and obesity are risk factors for its occurrence.
背景:有关冠状病毒病2019(COVID-19)出院后疼痛症状的发生率和性质的研究很少,尤其是发生中重度疾病的患者。因此,本研究旨在评估因COVID-19住院后出院的患者是否存在慢性疼痛,以及慢性疼痛的存在与重症监护住院时间、人口统计学和最坏的严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)结果的风险因素之间的关系:对住院后康复的 COVID-19 患者进行了横断面观察研究。研究人员在患者出院至少 3 个月后对其进行招募,并查阅了他们在医院的健康档案。评估的变量包括人口统计学、SARS-CoV-2 感染的严重程度(考虑是否需要重症监护)以及是否存在慢性疼痛。研究结果以描述性方式显示,多变量分析以研究结果的比值比(ORs)和各自的置信区间(CIs)表示。统计显著性以 p < 0.05 为标准:在纳入的 242 人中,77 人(31.8%)报告了与 COVID-19 相关的慢性疼痛,但与感染的严重程度无关。女性和肥胖与较高的慢性疼痛风险有关,其OR值分别为2.69(置信区间[95% CI 1.4至5.0])和3.02(95% CI 1.5至5.9)。四肢是受影响最严重的部位:结论:在医院环境中接受治疗的 COVID-19 幸存者中,慢性疼痛很常见。结论:慢性疼痛在医院环境中接受治疗的 COVID-19 存活者中很常见,女性和肥胖是导致慢性疼痛发生的风险因素。

Background
Preoperative anxiety in children causes negative postoperative outcomes. Parental presence at induction is a non-pharmacological strategy for relieving anxiety; nevertheless, it is not always possible or effective, namely when parents are overly anxious. Parental presence via video has been demonstrated to be useful in other contexts (divorce, criminal court). This study reports the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of video parental presence and parental coaching at induction on preoperative anxiety.
Methods
The study was a randomized, 2 × 2 factorial design trial examining parental presence (virtual vs. physical) and coaching (provided vs. not provided). Feasibility was assessed by enrollment rate, attrition rate, compliance, and staff satisfaction with virtual method with the NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and System Usability Scale (SUS). For the children's anxiety and postoperative outcomes, the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) and Post-Hospitalization Behavioral Questionnaire (PHBQ) were used. Parental anxiety was evaluated with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire.
Results
A total of 41 parent/patient dyads were recruited. The enrollment rate was 32.2%, the attrition rate 25.5%. Compliance was 87.8% for parents and 85% for staff. The SUS was 67.5/100 and 63.5/100 and NASA-TLX was 29.2 (21.5–36.8) and 27.6 (8.2–3.7) for the anesthesiologists and induction nurses, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in mYPAS, PHBQ and STAI.
Conclusion
A randomized controlled trial to explore virtual parental presence effect on preoperative anxiety is feasible. Further studies are needed to investigate its role and the role of parent coaching in reducing preoperative anxiety.
