This article summarizes trends in pediatric injury patterns, the unique coagulation system of infants, and key components of hemostatic resuscitation in children.Recent findings: Firearm-associated penetrating trauma increased mortality and led to higher rates of pediatric massive transfusions. Patients may be the victim of previous gun violence or live with an adult who purchased a firearm for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Platelet dysfunction and hypocalcemia are important considerations that may lead to higher transfusion requirements if not addressed. Pediatric massive transfusion protocols have become more standardized, and the use of whole blood has increased. Low-titer group O whole blood has shown benefit to improve coagulopathy and shock-associated indices when compared with conventional component therapy.Summary: Traumatic hemorrhage is potentially life-threatening in children and requires prompt hemostatic resuscitation. Massive transfusion protocols that target trauma-induced coagulopathy and account for the unique pediatric coagulation system are imperative.

This review aims to summarize recent evidence on the standard epidural (EPL), combined spinal-epidural (CSE), and dural puncture epidural (DPE) techniques, emphasizing their benefits, risks, and relevance in contemporary obstetric anesthesia care.Recent findings: The DPE technique offers unique values, combining the advantages from CSE and EPL techniques. DPE and CSE, compared with EPL, techniques involve a dural puncture with a spinal needle, and the resulting epidural-intrathecal conduit enables translocation of analgesic agents, providing faster onset, earlier sacral coverage, better catheter function, and more rapid epidural extension to surgical anesthesia. Moreover, by limiting the intrathecal dose administered with the CSE technique, the DPE technique lowers the risks of fetal bradycardia and pruritus.Summary: EPL and CSE techniques are widely used for neuraxial labor analgesia. The DPE technique offers a novel alternative, delivering high-quality analgesia with minimal complications. While the benefits of the DPE technique are increasingly being recognized, additional comparative research will better support anesthesiologists in selecting the most appropriate technique across diverse clinical scenarios.","PeriodicalId":50609,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":"195-201"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These advances, which we will delve into in this review, are at the forefront of improving the survival and quality of life of pediatric transplant recipients.Recent findings: Advances in donor utilization (e.g. donation after circulatory death and split-liver grafts) and surgical approaches (partial heart transplants and novel multiorgan procedures) have expanded the donor pool and enhanced graft viability. Improved perioperative care, including refined anesthetic monitoring, fluid management, and immediate extubation, reduces the incidence of complications. Research into model-informed precision dosing for antibiotics addresses under- or overdosing in critically ill children, whereas emerging immunosuppressants offer potential benefits over conventional regimens. Nonetheless, coagulopathy, hemodynamic instability, and developmental variations remain major challenges.Summary: Optimization of pediatric transplantation is a complex task that requires multidisciplinary collaboration. This review underscores the importance of standardizing perioperative protocols, advancing precision medicine, and refining surgical and anesthetic techniques. It also highlights the need for dedicated pediatric transplant registries and multicenter trials to generate robust data, minimize practice variability, and improve outcomes.","PeriodicalId":50609,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":"230-235"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the cohorts studied and definitions used, current reported rates of PDCD range between 2 and 36%. Preoperative patient counseling, risk stratification, and testing of neuraxial block are mitigating strategies; ultimately, if pain occurs, it should be managed skillfully applying shared decision-making with a supportive follow-up to reduce psychological trauma.

Nevertheless, it remains a potential adjunctive therapy in the management of ventricular arrhythmias in select patients. Continuous stellate ganglion block (C-SGB) offers an alternative to single-shot SGB and thoracic epidural anesthesia for effective management in the reduction of ventricular arrhythmias until definitive treatment; it is safe and may reduce the need to repeat the single-shot block.Summary: SGB has been described in the literature as a successful adjunct therapy to reduce arrhythmia load. Blocking the stellate ganglion can provide transient sympathetic blockade for controlling refractory ventricular arrhythmias, otherwise uncontrolled with medication management. By regulating the sympathetic nervous system, the stellate ganglion affects the electrical conductance of the heart, and thus inhibition of the ganglion can modulate the autonomic balance with subsequent reduction in ventricular arrhythmias. These studies until 2017 were limited to case reports and case series; meta-analysis by Fudim et al . supports the use of left-sided SGB to manage ventricular arrhythmias. Recent clinical trials further strengthen the findings and favor the trend of catheter use for continuous SGB. Further studies are warranted to identify suitable patient groups and when to initiate SBG or C-SGB.","PeriodicalId":50609,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Anesthesiology","volume":" ","pages":"310-315"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
