Abstract
SummaryWe report the results of a postal survey of the management of full term babies with pyloric stenosis by specialist paediatric anaesthetists. The conclusions from the survey are that the most likely anaesthetic techniques used are: rehydration and at least partial correction of electrolyte and acid‐base abnormalities before surgery; aspiration of stomach contents before induction of anaesthesia; a rapid sequence induction; extubation of the trachea with the baby awake and on its side; and infiltration of the wound at the end of surgery with local anaesthetic.
