Abstract
The preoperative assessment of the child for anesthesia and surgery requires a history, physical examination, and laboratory testing to ensure the child is optimally prepared for anesthesia. Anxiolysis requires age-directed strategies. Induction of anesthesia is usually accomplished with sevoflurane, although intravenous inductions may be used. Complications during induction and emergence from anesthesia in children are primarily airway related, i.e. laryngospasm. Anesthesia may be maintained by inhaled agents, although total intravenous anesthesia is becoming more popular.
