Pediatric anaesthesia involves safely administering anesthesia to children during surgeries or medical procedures. Children's bodies respond differently to drugs than adults, so anesthesiologists carefully tailor doses and monitor vital signs like heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels throughout the procedure. The goal is to keep the child comfortable, pain-free, and awake only when appropriate, while ensuring safety. Preoperative assessments are done to identify any health issues, and specialized techniques are used to minimize stress and discomfort. Pediatric anesthesia requires expertise to address developmental differences and ensure smooth, secure anesthesia care for young patients.
