摘要

Sir—An 8-month-old female baby (8.2 kg; 72 cm) with Apert syndrome was scheduled for frontotemporal advancement due to craniosynostosis. The past medical history revealed a short postpartal respiratory insufficiency, but was otherwise unremarkable. In particular, there was no history of glucose or electrolyte imbalances.
