Abstract Background Inhalation mask induction is a cornerstone of pediatric anesthesia. Because of their natural aversion to needles, healthy children are usually anesthetized by mask prior to intravenous insertion. The early insertion of an intravenous access provides a means for administering fluids and drugs if an untoward event occurs during inhalational induction. Sevoflurane is the inhalation agent most commonly used for mask inductions in pediatric anesthesia, having largely replaced halothane for this purpose. Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the optimum end tidal concentration of Sevoflurane at which an intravenous cannulation can be successfully attempted without movement in pediatric patients. Patients and Methods In this clinical trial, pediatric subjects of either sex aged 2-5 years, weighing 10-20 kg were included. Results Showed that an end tidal sevoflurane of 1.46% has 50% probability for successful intravenous cannulation without movement in children. Conclusion We conclude that an end tidal sevoflurane of 1.46% has 50% probability for successful intravenous cannulation in un- premedicated children aged between 2 and 5 years.

AbstractIn the follow-up of ventilation, invasive blood gas analysis and noninvasive monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) are used. We aimed to investigate the relationship between capillary partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PcCO2) levels and ETCO2 and also to investigate ETCO2's predictive feature of PcCO2 levels. This study included 28 female and 30 male pediatric patients; 28 patients were type-1 respiratory failure (RF), 16 patients were acute respiratory distress syndrome, and 14 patients were type-2 RF. Our results showed a significant correlation between ETCO2 and PcCO2. Although the strength of the correlation was weak throughout the measurements, the strength of this correlation increased significantly in type-2 RF.
