“…Preoperative encephalopathy and high AST levels have also been associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation 26 . In a large retrospective database analysis of 108.392 children undergoing major abdominal surgery, Partain et al 28 showed that neonatal age, preoperative inotropic support, duration of operation >150 min and ASA >3 were major predictors of prolonged postoperative ventilation.…”

Background Perioperative pain management in small infants weighing <10 kg undergoing liver transplantation is challenging. The use of TEA in this setting has not been reported, as well as its potential role to facilitate IE, ie, in the OR. Methods We describe here the use of TEA in two small infants who had IE after a LDLT procedure. Results TEA was successfully performed and IE was achieved in both cases. Postoperative analgesia assessment in the OR was satisfactory according to the FLACC pain scale, with scores of 2 and 3 for each patient, respectively. There were no major complications in the postoperative period, and the two children were discharged home uneventfully. Conclusions The use of TEA and its influence on IE rate and other perioperative outcomes should be more explored in small infants undergoing LDLT.
