Perioperative Care for Children

Perioperative care for children involves the preparation, management, and recovery process surrounding surgery. It includes preoperative assessments to ensure the child is healthy enough for surgery, anesthesia planning for pain relief, and postoperative care to promote healing and prevent complications. The goal is to make the experience as safe, comfortable, and smooth as possible, considering the child's age, development, and emotional needs. Clear communication with both the child and their family is essential throughout the process to reduce anxiety and ensure understanding of what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
