Abstract
The landscape of ambulatory surgery is changing, and tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures performed nationally. The number of children undergoing tonsillectomy on an ambulatory basis continues to increase. The 2 most common indications for tonsillectomy are recurrent throat infections and obstructive sleep-disordered breathing. The most frequent early complications after tonsillectomy are hemorrhage and ventilatory compromise. In areas lacking a dedicated children's hospital, these cases are managed by a nonpediatric specialized anesthesiologist and general otolaryngology surgeon. In response to requests from our members without pediatric fellowship training and/or who care for pediatric patients infrequently, the Pediatric Committee of the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) developed a position statement with recommendations for the safe perioperative care of pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy with and without adenoidectomy in freestanding ambulatory surgical facilities. This statement identifies children that are more likely to experience complications and to require additional dedicated provider time that is not conducive to the rapid pace and staffing ratios of many freestanding ambulatory centers with mixed adult and pediatric practices. The aim is to provide health care professionals with practical criteria and suggestions based on the best available evidence. When high-quality evidence is unavailable, we relied on group consensus from pediatric ambulatory specialists in the SAMBA Pediatric Committee. Consensus recommendations were presented to the Pediatric Committee of SAMBA.

Abstract
In this prospective randomised controlled trial, we compared the impact of the lateral versus supine position for tracheal extubation among infants aged two months to two years after intraabdominal surgery on the incidence of respiratory adverse events that may occur after extubation. The anaesthesia protocol was standardised. Among the 120 infants included (60 in each group), the demographic and perioperative data were comparable between both groups. The incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events after tracheal extubation was 21.6% and 5% in the supine and lateral position groups, respectively, with p = 0.007 and odds ratio = 3.87; 95% confidence interval: 1.18-12.6. Lateral position also reduced the incidence of airway obstruction with p = 0.004 and odds ratio = 11.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.46-95.3 and oxygen desaturation below 92% with p = 0.008 and odds ratio = 11.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.46-95. The lateral position seems to be practical and beneficial for tracheal extubation among infants.

Abstract
PURPOSE Awake extubation and deep extubation are commonly used anesthesia techniques. In this study, the safety of propofol-assisted deep extubation in the dental treatment of children was assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children with severe caries who received dental treatment under general anesthesia and deep extubation between January 2017 and June 2023 were included in this study. Data were collected on the following variables: details and time of anesthesia, perioperative vital signs, and incidence of postoperative complications. The incidence of laryngeal spasm (LS) was considered to be the primary observation indicator. RESULTS The perioperative data obtained from 195 children undergoing dental treatment was reviewed. The median age was 4.2 years (range: 2.3 to 9.6 years), and the average duration of anesthesia was 2.56 h (range 1 to 4.5 h). During intubation with a videoscope, purulent mucus was found in the pharyngeal cavity of seven children (3.6%); LS occurred in five of them (2.6%), and one child developed a fever (T = 37.8 °C) after discharge. Five children (2.6%) experienced emergence agitation (EA) in the recovery room. Also, 13 children (6.7%) experienced epistaxis; 10 had a mild experience and three had a moderate experience. No cases of airway obstruction (AO) and hypoxemia were recorded. The time to open eyes (TOE) was 16.3 ± 7.2 min. The incidence rate of complications was 23/195 (11.8%). Emergency tracheal reintubation was not required. Patients with mild upper respiratory tract infections showed a significantly higher incidence of complications (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Propofol-assisted deep extubation is a suitable technique that can be used for pediatric patients who exhibited non-cooperation in the outpatient setting. Epistaxis represents the most frequently encountered complication. Preoperative upper respiratory tract infection significantly increases the risk of complications. The occurrence of EA was notably lower than reported in other studies.

Abstract
Importance The efficacy of a semirecumbent position (SRP) in reducing postoperative hypoxemia during anesthesia emergence is unclear despite its widespread use. Objective To determine the differences in postoperative hypoxemia between patients in an SRP and a supine position. Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized clinical trial was performed at a tertiary hospital in China between March 20, 2021, and May 10, 2022. Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. Study recruitment and follow-up are complete. Interventions Patients were randomized to 1 of the following positions at the end of the operation until leaving the postanesthesia care unit: supine (group S), 15° SRP (group F), or 30° SRP (group T). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia in the postanesthesia care unit. Severe hypoxemia was also evaluated. Results Out of 700 patients (364 men [52.0%]; mean [SD] age, 47.8 [11.3] years), 233 were randomized to group S (126 men [54.1%]; mean [SD] age, 48.2 [10.9] years), 233 to group F (122 men [52.4%]; mean [SD] age, 48.1 [10.9] years), and 234 to group T (118 women [50.4%]; mean [SD] age, 47.2 [12.1] years). Postoperative hypoxemia differed significantly among the 3 groups (group S, 109 of 233 [46.8%]; group F, 105 of 233 [45.1%]; group T, 76 of 234 [32.5%]; P = .002). This difference was statistically significant for groups T vs S (risk ratio [RR], 0.69 [95% CI, 0.55-0.87]; P = .002) and groups T vs F (RR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.57-0.91]; P = .007), but not for groups F vs S (RR, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.79-1.17]; P = .78). Severe hypoxemia also differed among the 3 groups (group S, 61 of 233 [26.2%]; group F, 53 of 233 [22.7%]; group T, 36 of 234 [15.4%]; P = .01). This difference was statistically significant for groups T vs S (RR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.41-0.85]; P = .005). Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial of SRP during anesthesia recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery, postoperative hypoxemia was significantly reduced in group T compared with group F or group S.

Abstract
Patient positioning interacts with a number of body systems and can impact clinically important perioperative outcomes. In this educational review, we present the available evidence on the impact that patient positioning can have in the pediatric perioperative setting. A literature search was conducted using search terms that focused on pediatric perioperative outcomes prioritized by contemporary research in this area. Several key themes were identified: the effects of positioning on respiratory outcomes, cardiovascular outcomes, enteral function, patient and carer-centered outcomes, and soft issue injuries. We encountered considerable heterogeneity in research in this area. There may be a role for lateral positioning to reduce respiratory adverse outcomes, head elevation for intubation and improved oxygenation, and upright positioning to reduce peri-procedural anxiety.

Abstract
The optimal timing of I-Gel removal in children with mild respiratory symptoms remains controversial. Consequently, we tried to assess the impact of early versus late I-Gel removal on the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events among children aged one to five years undergoing ambulatory surgery under general anaesthesia with I-Gel airway ventilation. The anaesthesia protocol was the same for all patients. Children were divided into two groups according to the approach of I-Gel removal (early versus late). The incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events after the I-Gel removal was the main outcome, and a multivariable regression was performed to investigate the implication of the I-Gel removal in perioperative respiratory adverse events. According to our study, the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events was not correlated to the timing of I-Gel removal. However, prolonged postoperative oxygen support can be seen when the I-Gel is removed in anaesthetized children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with OSAS are prone to various airway complications during tracheal extubation after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy due to oropharyngeal secretions and oozing blood. However, few studies have examined the effect of position on airway complications after tracheal extubation in children with OSAS. The aim of this study was to investigate the appropriate position for extubation in children with OASA. METHODS A total of 459 children aged 3-14 years with OSAS who underwent tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy were recruited for this study. All children were treated with the same surgical approach and standard anesthesia methods of induction of anesthesia, tracheal intubation and maintenance of anesthesia. At the end of surgery, the children were delivered to the post anesthesia care unit and randomly divided into three groups: Group A: Head-high 0° in lateral position; Group B: Head-high 15° in lateral position; Group C: Head-high 30° in lateral position. The main outcomes of this study were the pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) and the Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS) scores of the children after extubation, the outflow of oral-nasal secretions and the respiratory complications. Secondary outcomes were blood pressure, heart rate, end-respiratory carbon dioxide, respiratory rate, and post-operative awakening time of the children in three groups. RESULTS Data from a total of 423 children were statistically analyzed, 141 in Group A, 142 in Group B, and 140 in Group C. The main results showed a significant decrease in choking response after extubation in Group B (46.5%) and Group C (40.7%) compared to Group A (60.3%) (P < 0.05). The SAS score for postoperative agitation was higher in Group A (4.6 [Formula: see text] 0.9) than in Group B (4.4 [Formula: see text] 0.7) and Group C (4.3 [Formula: see text] 0.6) (P < 0.05). Also the SpO2 after extubation was higher in Group B (97.2%) and Group C (97.1%) than in Group A (95.8%) (P < 0.05). In contrast, there was no difference in the occurrence of respiratory complication and postoperative agitation in children between Group B and Group C (all P > 0.05). In addition, there was no difference in the amount of oral-nasal secretions among the children in the three groups (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The head-high 15° lateral position and head-high 30° lateral position can reduce the incidence of airway complications and agitation and provide safe and comfortable extubation conditions for children during the peri-extubation period after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, which has certain clinical guidance value.

Abstract
Background Previous studies examining removal of endotracheal tubes and supraglottic devices under deep anesthesia were underpowered to identify rare complications. This study sought to report all adverse events associated with this practice found in a large national database of pediatric anesthesia adverse events. Methods An extract of an adverse events database created by the Wake Up Safe database, a multi-institutional pediatric anesthesia quality improvement initiative, was performed for this study. It was screened to identify anesthetics with variables indicating removal of airway devices under deep anesthesia. Three anesthesiologists screened the data to identify events where this practice possibly contributed to the event. Event data was extracted and collated. Results One hundred two events met screening criteria and 66 met inclusion criteria. Two cardiac etiology events were identified, one of which resulted in the patient’s demise. The remaining 97% of events were respiratory in nature (64 events), including airway obstruction, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and aspiration. Some respiratory events consisted of multiple distinct events in series. Nineteen respiratory events resulted in cardiac arrest (29.7%) of which 15 (78.9%) were deemed preventable by local anesthesiologists performing independent review. Respiratory events resulted in intensive care unit admission (37.5%), prolonged intubation and temporary neurologic injury but no permanent harm. Provider and patient factors were root causes in most events. Upon investigation, areas for improvement identified included improving patient selection, ensuring monitoring, availability of intravenous access, and access to emergency drugs and equipment until emergence. Conclusions Serious adverse events have been associated with this practice, but no respiratory events were associated with long-term harm.

Agustina N, Nurhaeni N, Hayati H. Right lateral position can improving oxygen saturation and respiratory rate on under-five children with pneumonia. LA PEDIATRIA MEDICA E CHIRURGICA 2021; 43. [PMID: 37184328 DOI: 10.4081/pmc.2021.262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Pediatric patients with pneumonia experience respiratory distress in the form of shortness of breath and rapid breathing, which affects oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation and respiratory rate can be increased by providing the right lateral position. Fulfillment of oxygen will affect the healing of children and can reduce the length of stay in hospital. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of right lateral positioning on oxygen saturation and respiratory rate in under-five children with pneumonia. The study design was a quasi-experimental pre-posttest with control group design. Respondents were 32 infants with pneumonia, (right lateral=16 and control group=16), selected by consecutive sampling. Univariate and bivariate analyzes were performed. There was a significant difference in oxygen saturation before and after right lateral position (p-value=0.000) and there was a significant difference in the respiratory rate before and after right lateral position (p-value=0.000). The results can be used to improve health services by promoting the right lateral position as a selftreatment intervention for increasing oxygen saturation and stabilizing respiratory rate in infants with pneumonia.

BMC Anesthesiol 2020; 20:185. [PMID: 32738878 PMCID: PMC7395215 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-020-01108-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tracheal extubation is commonly performed in the supine position. However, in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, the supine position increases abdominal wall tension, especially during coughing and deep breathing, which may aggravate pain and lead to abdominal wound dehiscence. The semi-Fowler's position may reduce abdominal wall tension, but its safety and comfort in tracheal extubation have not been reported. We aimed to evaluate the safety and comfort of different extubation positions in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS We enrolled 141 patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists grade of I-III who underwent abdominal surgery. All patients were anesthetized with propofol, fentanyl, cisatracurium, and sevoflurane. After surgery, all patients were transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Patients were then randomly put into the semi-Fowler's (n = 70) or supine (n = 71) position while 100% oxygen was administered. The endotracheal tube was removed after the patients opened their eyes and regained consciousness. Vital signs, coughing, and pain and comfort scores before and/or after extubation were recorded until the patients left the PACU. RESULTS In comparison with the supine position, the semi-Fowler's position significantly decreased the wound pain scores at all intervals after extubation (3.51 ± 2.50 vs. 4.58 ± 2.26, 2.23 ± 1.68 vs. 3.11 ± 2.00, 1.81 ± 1.32 vs. 2.59 ± 1.88, P = 0.009, 0.005 and 0.005, respectively), reduced severe coughing (8[11.43%] vs. 21[29.58%], P = 0.008) and bucking after extubation (3[4.29%] vs. 18[25.35%], P < 0.001), and improved the comfort scores 5 min after extubation (6.11 ± 2.30 vs. 5.17 ± 1.78, P = 0.007) and when leaving from post-anesthesia care unit (7.17 ± 2.27 vs. 6.44 ± 1.79, P = 0.034). The incidences of vomiting, emergence agitation, and respiratory complications were of no significant difference. CONCLUSION Tracheal extubation in the semi-Fowler's position is associated with less coughing, sputum suction, and pain, and more comfort, without specific adverse effects when compared to the conventional supine position.
