Dr. Yaster - I am very interested in using the RVM for prospective studies in pediatric surgical and critically ill patients. I recently started a prospective study on its use in the PACU in children with OSA after tonsillectomy. Would love to find opportunities for collaboration.
The simple answer for Case #1 is spinal anesthesia and sent home when it wears off. Been doing that with Tetracaine 1% for 30 yrs. (0.8-1.1 mg/kg with equal volume D10). Works a treat. If the baby gets fussy under the drapes a few drops of leftover D10 on a pacifier usually works.
As for the other two cases, this monitor sounds like what we’ve been waiting for.
I would love to use this and validate in Bariatric patients
