Pediatric Anesthesia — The Art & High Stakes Science of “Tiny Lungs”
Pediatric anesthesia isn’t just “small adult” anesthesia — it’s a precision mission. Children’s bodies respond to anesthesia in ways that demand specialized care:
- Narrower airways → Higher risk of obstruction; require more precise airway management.
- Different drug metabolism → Immature liver & kidneys affect how anesthetics are processed and cleared.
- High anesthetic sensitivity → Exact dosing based on age, weight, body surface area & surgery type.
- Emotional vulnerability → Fear and anxiety are often more pronounced, which may affect cooperation and recovery.
- Post‑op vigilance → Continuous monitoring of vital signs helps ensure safe and smooth recovery.
The risk gap?
Pediatric patients face 2-3× higher anesthesia‑related complication rates than adults. 50% of these are respiratory events.
