Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The anaesthesia of a young child under 3 years of age is a challenge for every anaesthetist. The peculiarities of this group of patients, particularly neonates and infants, resulting primarily from differences in both physiology, anatomy and the immaturity of individual organs which translate into different pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drugs used in anaesthesiology, underlie the significantly more frequently recorded critical events during anaesthesia compared with the adult patient population. Concerned about the safety of children undergoing anaesthesia and aiming to ensure the highest possible quality and uniform standard of anaesthetic services, the Expert Panel of the Section of Paediatric Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care has prepared a Section position paper on anaesthesia in children under 3 years of age.
