Why the study?
Children with cancer and those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation require anesthesia for procedures but lack published guidelines for preanesthesia preparation.
Provides an expert consensus guideline for preanesthesia preparation in children with cancer, addressing a significant gap in published literature.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Offers standardized preanesthesia care for pediatric cancer patients; fills a key literature gap and guides future studies.
Children with cancer and those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation frequently require anesthesia for imaging as well as diagnostic and therapeutic procedures from diagnosis through follow-up. Due to their underlying disease and side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, they are at risk for complications during this time, yet no published guideline exists for preanesthesia preparation. A comprehensive literature review served as the basis for discussions among our multidisciplinary panel of oncologists, anesthesiologists, nurse practitioners, clinical pharmacists, pediatric psychologists, surgeons and child life specialists at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Due to limited literature available, this panel created an expert consensus guideline addressing anesthesia preparation for this population.
