Abstract

Children are not "small adults," particularly when it comes to anesthesia and pain management. The psychological and physiologic uniqueness of children must not be forgotten. Cooperation and communication between the anesthesiologist, surgeon, and pediatrician are essential for successful anesthesia and pain management. Pediatric anesthesiologists involved in the perioperative management of infants and children are very much a part of the "continuity of care" concept.
