Updates in Anesthesia for Pediatric Emergency

Abstract

The operating room is an environment where all cases are performed. Perhaps the most difficult ones are the pediatric emergencies. Most children and infants differ from adults in several aspects. They do not, at most times, have a history of anesthetic exposure; they are generally healthy and do not have cardiopulmonary problems. This leads to a scenario where they are healthy yet have underlying pathology that leads to a potential for rapid deterioration in their conditions.
