“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.

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

#ASM25CNS

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
