[ 1 ] - Reliability of Visually Estimated Blood Loss with Hemoglobin Measurement: 200 Cases of Craniosynostosis Surgery

Background Bleeding is one of the most common complications of craniosynostosis surgery, which its appropriate management is associated with better post-operative outcomes. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the visual estimated blood loss in intraoperative management of infants with craniosynostosis surgery. Materials and Methods This retrospective study was performed on 200 p...

[ 2 ] - Survey of a Practical Approach to Central Venous Catheterization in Pediatric Patients

Background Central venous catheter (CVC) is used for measuring hemodynamic variables, transfusion of blood, fluids and medications when peripheral vascular lack sufficiency. Unfortunately CVC is associated with many complications ranging from anxiety and discomfort for the patient to severe mechanical side effects such as arterial lacerations, pleural and pericardial injury as well as infection...

[ 3 ] - The Effect of Inhalation Anesthesia with Hyperventilation and Total Intravenous Anesthesia on Intracranial Pressure Control in Pediatrics with Craniosynostosis Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) control is one of the anesthesiologist challenges in craniosynostosis repair surgery, especially in multiple sutures involvement. The aim of this study was comparing the effect of two anesthesia methods including inhalation with hyperventilation and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on ICP control and surgeon satisfaction in pediatrics with craniosynost...
