Do canadian pediatric anesthesiologists prefer inhalational anesthesia to manage difficult airways?
Inhalational anesthesia remains the preferred technique for management of the difficult pediatric airway amongst Canadian pediatric anesthesiologists. Intravenous techniques are relatively more commonly chosen in cases where there is a shared airway but little concern regarding difficulty of intubation. In cases of anticipated difficult intubation, direct laryngoscopy remains the technique of choice and fibreoptic laryngoscopy makes a good alternate technique. The use of the laryngeal mask airway was preferred to facilitate fibreoptic intubation.
The five overexpressed genes are involved in DNA repair. Therefore, in comparison with cell cycle control and apoptotic pathways, DNA repair pathways are more activated in poor-quality pre-implantation human embryos with complex aneuploidy. This suggests that the dominant response to DNA damage in such embryos is DNA repair rather than cell division or apoptosis.
