Comparison of Racemic Bupivacaine, Ropivacaine, and Levo-Bupivacaine for Pediatric Caudal Anesthesia: Effects on Postoperative Analgesia and Motor Block
Giorgio Ivani,Pasquale DeNegri,Alessandra Conio,Roberto Grossetti,Pasquale Vitale,Claudia Vercellino,Ferdinando Gagliardi,Staffan Eksborg,Per-Arne Lönnqvist +8 more
TL;DR: All 3 investigated local anesthetics were found to be clinically comparable despite the slight reduction of early postoperative motor block associated with the use of ropivacaine.

Ropivacaine‐clonidine combination for caudal blockade in children
TL;DR: Adding clonidine to weak ropivacaine solutions (<0.2%) could potentially enhance analgesia as well as further reduce the risk for unwanted motor blockade in children following caudal administration in children.

Neurological Abnormalities in Full-Term Asphyxiated Newborns and Salivary S100B Testing: The “Cooperative Multitask against Brain Injury of Neonates” (CoMBINe) International Study

TL;DR: S100B protein measurement in saliva, soon after birth, is a useful tool to identify which asphyxiated infants are at risk of neurological sequelae, and is significantly higher in newborns with PA than in normal infants.

Spinal versus peripheral effects of adjunct clonidine: comparison of the analgesic effect of a ropivacaine-clonidine mixture when administered as a caudal or ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blockade for inguinal surgery in children.
TL;DR: No attempt has been made to compare spinal and peripheral application ofClonidine in the same surgical context in order to further explore the mechanism for the analgesic action of clonidine when administered together with local anaesthetics.
46
Clonidine‐mepivacaine mixture vs plain mepivacaine in paediatric surgery
TL;DR: The addition of 2 μg·kg−1 of clonidine to mepivacaine prolongs the duration of caudal analgesia in children and this longer sedation is due both to the longer analgesia and partially to a side effect ofClonidine.
