During anesthesia, the EEG in infants is fundamentally different from the EEG in older children. This study supports the need for specific infant-derived algorithms if EEG-derived anesthesia depth monitors are to be used in infants.

The new Glidescope performs as well as the Miller laryngoscope under simulated normal and difficult airway conditions.

Even without prior experience and using nonconventional insertion, pediatric PLMAs (including size 1.5) can be easily inserted and provide an effective airway.

Infants wake faster from general anaesthesia when maintained with desflurane as compared with sevoflurane, but no difference in postoperative respiratory events was demonstrated between the groups.
