Challenges in Anaesthesia Management in Pediatric Patients

Abstract

Abstract
Anesthetic management of pediatric patients is uniquely challenging. Approach to the pediatric patient must consider heightened preoperative anxiety and its postoperative behavioral and pain effects. Surgeries can range from simple ambulatory procedures to complex and extensive operations. A large part of the anesthetic care includes pain management, management of concomitant disease, and risk reduction for adverse events. Anesthetic perioperative concerns discuss various methods of pain control used during various surgical operation in padiatric patients is crucial. Frequent respiratory infections can complicate timing of surgery and anesthetic care. Perioperative pain management usually involves a multimodal pharmacologic approach with the goal of minimizing opioid requirements. Regional anesthesia is valuable for postoperative pain control. Safety of its use in the pediatric population has been confirmed in recent studies. This review provides insights on the different challenges in handling anaesthesia in padiatrics and pharmacologic and other way of managements for the same.
