https://lnkd.in/gsyvxTZX Great to see this from the Journal of Pediatric Surgery : "APSA therefore recognizes the practice of locum tenens in pediatric surgery as an essential component of the surgical care of the child... Locum tenens practice has become an integral part of pediatric surgery. APSA celebrates the delivery of pediatric surgical care closer to home. An intentional approach between the pediatric surgeon, hiring organizations and locum tenens placement agencies is critical to optimize patient outcomes. Continued focus on the best interests of the patient by all parties will reaffirm locum tenens as a reasonable option that provides the safe and effective care that is expected..." https://lnkd.in/gb8TmEnU

Flow Meter in Pediatric Congenital Surgery

The Role of Specialized Medical Tools and Flowprobes for Pediatric Patients. Intraoperative measurements take the guesswork out of blood flow assessment during #aneurysm #clipping, #extracranial to #intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgeries, #arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), dural fistula obliteration, and tumor resection surgeries. A good read for the Sunday morning! https://lnkd.in/eVeHay4W https://lnkd.in/epfA-KhC

Anaesthetic implications of intra-operative Indocyanine green use in pediatric surgery Introduction: The use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye for fluorescent guided surgery is increasing in children. In many cases, ICG is injected intravenously peri-operatively and is known to falsely alter peripheral oxygenation readings because of interference with the measured red/infrared absorbance ratio of pulsatile blood. Methods: The study occurred at a single centre tertiary children's hospital. ICG was delivered peri-operatively. SpO2 was monitored real-time in all patients. Blood pressure, heart rate, expired carbon dioxide and electrocardiographic data were collected from anaesthetic records. Data is median (interquartile range) RESULTS: Twenty-five patients(13 F;12 M) age 60(77)months and weight 17(18.7)kg were included between 01/April/2021 and 31/Nov/2022. Fifteen patients received 0.5(0.38) mg/kg ICG at induction of anesthesia with ΔSpO2 of 6(2)%. Median time to ΔSpO2 fall was 25(6)seconds with recovery taking 74(68)seconds. Time to recovery and ΔSpO2 were proportional to ICG dose/kg with r2 of 0.7993 and 0.597 and p of 0.0008 and 0.001 respectively on linear regression. Five patients had intralesional ICG and one had an enteral dose with no effect on SpO2. Eight patients had a total of 20 intraoperative bolus doses of ICG with no effect on SpO2 in 11. In 9, time to SpO2 fall was 26(12)seconds with ΔSpO2 of 4(1)% and recovery at 24(50)seconds. No corrective anaesthetic manoeuvres were required. Conclusion: Understanding the timings of the transient artefactual fall and recovery in SpO2 following ICG injection is essential for safe anesthesia. This is the first study to evaluate this effect in children prospectively. https://lnkd.in/eUSBFTuz max pachl #ICG #fluorescent #fluorescence #guidedsurgery #surgery #surgeons #imaging #thinkgreen #pediatrics #indocyaninegreen #study #patients #operations #surgical #medical
