The purpose of this study was to evaluate the haemodynamic changes during induction, as well as the speed and quality of recovery when propofol (vs thiopentone and/or halothane) was used for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia in paediatric outpatients. One hundred unmedicated children,

This was a very rare case of medial compartment syndrome of the foot following spine surgery. We believe that the patient had a predisposition, whether neurologic or vascular, toward cramping in the foot and that this activity was stimulated by the nerve stimulation during the evoked potential monitoring. Although the patient had thoracic epidural analgesia after surgery, it was not felt to have contributed to the development or result of the compartment syndrome. We strongly advocate for checking patients feet and legs during surgery for overactivity and stress the need for a high index of suspicion for compartment syndrome for unexplained pain after surgery.
