During atrial extrastimulation, split His potentials, prolonged His-to-ventricular (H,V,) intervals and block distal to the His bundle deflection were observed in both preoperative and postoperative children with heart defects. His-Purkinje responses and refractoriness were identified in 31 of 78 (40%) pediatric patients (20 of 51 preoperative and 11 of 27 postoperative) during atrial extrastim...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the effects of rectal midazolam addition after applying bupivacaine and caudal anesthesia on postoperative analgesia time, the need for additional analgesics, postoperative recovery, and sedation and to find out its adverse effects in children having lower abdominal surgery. METHODS 40 children between 2 and 10 years of ASA I-II were randomized, and they...
