Total intravenous anesthesia using midazolam and dexmedetomidine as substitutes for propofol in a pediatric patient with egg allergy and a family history of malignant hyperthermia.

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
To avoid inhalational anesthetics, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is required in patients with a predisposition to malignant hyperthermia (MH). However, propofol, which is frequently used, may be avoided in patients with egg allergies because of the contraindications in the drug information. Furthermore, some patients may not consent to the use of propofol. We report a case of TIVA using midazolam and dexmedetomidine as substitutes for propofol in a pediatric patient with egg allergy and a predisposition to MH. A 10-year-old boy was scheduled to undergo perforated drainage of an epidural abscess. He had egg allergy, and his uncle had been diagnosed with MH. He also developed a generalized drug eruption caused by antibiotics. Concerned about allergic reactions, he and his parents did not consent to administrating propofol. The patient's perioperative course was uneventful. The combination of midazolam and dexmedetomidine may be a useful option as substitutes for propofol.
