Is pretreatment with remifentanil associated with less succinylcholine-induced fasciculation?
Our findings indicate that remifentanil can reduce the duration and the intensity of succinylcholine induced fasciculation. However, it induces greater bradycardia.
Infants with gastroschisis exhibit high early CRP, which may not indicate sepsis or adverse outcome. This increase can complicate the assessment of these infants. Clinicians should be aware of this finding as it could inform management decisions in this group.
