A Sedation Protocol for Endoscopic Baton‐Plate Adjustment in Neonates With Pierre Robin Sequence

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robin sequence (RS) is characterized by upper airway obstruction leading to life‐threatening desaturations in neonates. Procedural sedation in this population presents unique challenges due to anatomical airway anomalies, young patient age, and associated comorbidities.

Cleanse, Perfuse, Retain (CPR) Protocol for Management of Postoperative Infections With d‐PTFE Membranes: Clinical Reports of Three Cases

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative infection is a serious complication of bone augmentation procedures, potentially resulting in graft failure, basal bone resorption, and spread of infection to adjacent anatomic spaces. This paper introduces the CPR (Cleanse, Perfuse, and Retain) protocol and illustrates its clinical application in the management of low‐
