Pediatric Anesthesia Intensive Care and Pain Standardization in Clinical Practice

Pediatric Anesthesia Intensive Care, and Pain Standardization in Clinical Practice provides a comprehensive overview of current standards in anesthesia and intensive care for neonates and children, aiming to promote standardization in clinical practice. This book is structured into two main parts: intensive care and anesthesia/perioperative medicine.

The first part focuses on intensive care issues, starting with scoring systems for assessing critically ill children. It covers the diagnosis, prevention, and management of ventilator-associated pneumonia, and reviews the roles of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and noninvasive respiratory support. Additional chapters discuss procedural sedation and analgesia in children, progress toward ‘open’ ICUs with liberal visiting policies, and advancements in long-term home mechanical ventilation, offering a holistic view of modern pediatric intensive care practices.

The second part of the book addresses key topics in anesthesia and perioperative medicine for pediatric patients. After reviewing safety issues, the text delves into current trends in pediatric regional and locoregional anesthesia, with a detailed synopsis of the use of central blocks in infants and children. Other chapters explore awareness monitoring, techniques for single-lung ventilation, anesthesia in severely premature infants, and the management of emergence delirium—important considerations for anesthesiologists working with young patients.

Pediatric Anesthesia Intensive Care and Pain Standardization in Clinical Practice will be a valuable resource for both novices and experienced practitioners, providing essential information on a wide range of pediatric anesthesia, intensive care, and pain management topics. Its focus on standardization ensures that clinicians are equipped with the latest knowledge and practices to deliver safe, effective care to pediatric patients.
