Paediatric anaesthetic emergencies

S J Mather. Br J Hosp Med. 1993 Oct.

Abstract

There is nowadays virtually no contraindication to anaesthesia for even small, sick neonates provided that adequate resuscitation is first carried out. Furthermore, apart from severe trauma and airway difficulties, very few paediatric surgical emergencies require immediate intervention. Most emergencies can be treated within a few hours, preferably when the full facilities of the hospital are available.
