Guidelines for the Perioperative Care of Children

Guidelines for perioperative care of children ensure their safety and comfort before, during, and after surgery. They involve thorough assessments to identify health issues, tailored preparation to reduce anxiety, and careful monitoring throughout the procedure. These guidelines promote age-appropriate communication, effective pain management, and emotional support. Proper planning also includes educating families about the process and recovery expectations. The goal is to minimize risks, promote healing, and support the child's well-being at every stage of surgical care.
