Why the study?
Recent scientific developments have improved safety in paediatric anaesthetic management, motivating the review of novel approaches and ongoing issues such as the effect of anaesthesia on neurodevelopment.
Recent advances in pediatric anesthesia, such as enhanced recovery protocols and paraoxygenation, have significantly improved safety and recovery outcomes.
May support adoption in paediatric practice; leaves open need for prospective trials to confirm benefits.
Recent development in science has led to a significant improvement in safety for the anaesthetic management of children. Enhanced recovery after surgery is one of the novel approaches aiming to enhance paediatric surgical outcomes and their quick recovery. Preoperative counselling, minimal fasting, and no routine pharmacological premedication are critical components of enhanced recovery after surgery. As anaesthetists, management of airway is our priority and introduction of paraoxygenation in addition to preoxygenation has resulted in reduction in desaturation episodes during periods of apnoea. Safe care has been made possible by improvements in monitoring, equipment, medications, techniques, and resuscitation protocols. We are motivated to collect more evidence regarding ongoing disputes and issues, such as the effect of anaesthesia on neurodevelopment.
