Anesthesia management in a pediatric patient with Becker muscular dystrophy undergoing laparoscopic surgery: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) have a high risk of developing hyperkalemia, rhabdomyolysis, and malignant hyperthermia when exposed to volatile anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants. Patients with BMD are also prone to respiratory depression after general anesthesia. Thus, it is extremely challenging for anesthesiologists to manage anesthesia in BMD patients, particularly in pediatric BMD patients. Here, we present successful anesthesia management using transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) combined with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in a pediatric BMD patient undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. CASE SUMMARY: A 2-year-old boy, weighing 15 kg, with BMD, was scheduled for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. TIVA was used for induction, and continuous infusions of short-acting intravenous anesthetics combined with TAPB were performed for anesthesia maintenance. Moreover, TAPB provided good postoperative analgesia. The patient underwent uneventful surgery and anesthesia, and over the 17 mo follow-up period showed no anesthesia-induced complications.
conclusionTAPB combined with TIVA, using short-acting intravenous anesthetic agents, can provide safe and effective anesthesia management in pediatric BMD patients undergoing short-term abdominal surgery.
