Abstract
Emphasis is laid on anatomical and physiological differences that exist between the child and the adult, with special regard as to how these variations may influence the anaesthetist in his management of paediatric cases. It is suggested that the adoption of a method involving the use of light general anaesthesia, intermittent positive pressure respiration, and, when necessary, muscle relaxants should overcome some of the disadvantages of techniques involving deeper levels of anaesthesia and spontaneous respiration. Differences in the infant’s response to the muscle relaxant drugs and suggestions on fluid therapy are briefly indicated.
