Article Abstract
The anesthetic management for open fetal surgery has been described, but many therapeutic tenets have not been supported with data. We present data on the anesthetic management and outcomes of 65 patients undergoing ex utero intrapartum therapy procedures at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia between 1998 and 2011. Patients were identified, and medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Maternal general anesthesia combined with postoperative epidural analgesia was commonly used. High levels of volatile anesthetic were used for uterine relaxation. Case characteristics such as fetal procedure, operative time, blood loss, transfusion requirements, vasopressor use, and fetal resuscitative measures are described.

Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.
Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.

Background: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a life-threatening emergency involving the rupture of the carotid arteries and/or branches, often following surgery and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Our case series aimed to describe airway management strategies, endovascular and surgical approaches, perioperative resuscitation management, and clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients with CBS at a tertiary referral academic health center.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with CBS between 2017 and 2021.
