DOI: 10.1007/s00540-018-2541-5
Abstract: PurposeTo provide optimal conditions for neurophysiological monitoring and rapid awakening, remifentanil is commonly used during pediatric spinal surgery. However, remifentanil may induce hyperalgesia and increase postoperative opioid requirements. We evaluated the potential of methadone or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s43390-020-00107-3
Abstract: PURPOSE Many children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) develop progressive spinal deformity, worsening already compromised pulmonary function and global spinal balance. Early results demonstrate that intrathecal administration of nusinersen, a recent FDA-approved drug, improves motor… read more here.
