Ji et al. assessed whether the combination of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil, by reducing sevoflurane exposure, has any differential effect on neurodevelopmental outcomes in young children compared with sevoflurane alone. Read the new cover study: ow.ly/btn050WU27p
There is some new content up at the site - a quick bit on providing anaesthesia for CT scans in kids. You can find it nestled around here. www.justlittleadults.com/imagingandir #ansky #pedsanes

“postoperative lateral position - child better at maintaining their own airway than - anaesthetist. . often the best approach is to let everything go, gently open their mouth and feel for breath..patients mostly do fine without us. Iatrogenic airway obstruction is common. Let the patient have a go.”
There's a whole new post up. Because Friday or something. It's full of magic moves to help with face-mask ventilation in small patients. #pedsanes #ansky www.justlittleadults.com/topical-anaesthesia/mask-magic

Just because a bunch of us dig paediatric anaesthesia so much we built a website in our spare time. Really it's just another spot to hang out with other people who dig paediatric anaesthesia. www.justlittleadults.com #pedsanes #ansky

If you fail direct laryngoscopy in an infant <5kg what is your plan?
In this study, first attempt success was 43% with videolaryngoscopy and 62% with flexible bronchoscopy.
Would you use a bronch in a baby?

We listen, we don’t judge, paeds anaesthesia edition: Consider chest wall rigidity if you’re doing a case with TCI ‘Remifol’ & you’re suddenly having issues with ventilation coz they may get boluses of Remi. Don’t just assume it’s bronchospasm or inadequate depth of anaesthesia 😌

First post here!
Simtiva.app is a web-based simulator for TCI/TIVA. It allows the use of Eleveld model (the latest one!) for propofol in "CE targeting", so you may use the suggested scheme on any syringe pump without TCI Eleveld functionality.
Other drugs and models also available for simulation...
Not many anaesthetists explicit about their paediatric interests in their bios (yet) but here is a start with some relevant accounts to fill the gap to meet the minimum 5 accounts

Nice to be on Bluesky! Feels like we are starting all over again, but that’s probably a good thing! #PedsAnes #Anesthesiology #resetbutton
So wonderful to see so many coming here. Feels different.
Please take a look at PedsAnesthesia.Net
Forum (for discussions bigger than here) and Wiki (your living textbook of #PedsAnes- go ahead and write something) and TimelyTopics on the front page.
Done
Feel free to use this as the beginning of your own starter pack which you can add accounts to as you come across them.
