Update on ENT anaesthesia in children

Aug 10, 2024 | anaesthesiajournal.co.uk | Rory W Blackler |Zoe Brown |Zoé Brown |Neil K. Chadha

This article is an update of anaesthesia for common paediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) procedures. ENT pathology is the most common indication for surgery in children. An increasing proportion are performed as day cases, even in the presence of comorbidities such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), so judicious selection of suitable children remains important. Considerations include severity of disease, known difficult airway, complex comorbidities, and the surgical centre.
Emergence and extubation

Jul 12, 2024 | anaesthesiajournal.co.uk | Andy Cheung |Lisa Cheng

Emergence and extubation are critical transitional phases in the perioperative period. Evidence has shown that complications occur more at extubation than intubation and induction. A comprehensive understanding of the various factors influencing emergence and extubation, potential complications, essential steps and different techniques employed can maximize patient outcomes and satisfaction. Vigilant monitoring and assessment of the patient's readiness for extubation are required at emergence.

Function of the nephron and the formation of urine

Apr 13, 2024 | anaesthesiajournal.co.uk | Jennifer Kingston |Shiraz Khan |Zia Moinuddin

The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney involved in the critical interplay of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis by glomerular filtration, selective tubular reabsorption, and secretion. This article will discuss the structure and function of each segment of the nephron, and the physiology pertaining to the formation of urine.
Renal physiology: blood flow, glomerular filtration, and plasma clearance

Apr 6, 2024 | anaesthesiajournal.co.uk | Shiraz Khan |Jennifer Kingston |Zia Moinuddin

The homeostatic and excretory functions of the kidney are dependent on its perfusion, totalling 20–25% of cardiac output, and the process of glomerular ultrafiltration. Renal blood flow (RBF) is directly proportional to the trans-renal gradient which is autoregulated across a mean arterial pressure of 50–150 mmHg in a normotensive person.
