Description
The scientific basis of anaesthesia has always been relevant to the operative care of the newborn and a sound knowledge of appropriate anatomy, physiology and pharmacology, is mandatory for the paediatric anaesthetist. Only recently has our concept of the newborn changed with regard to the perception of pain and the ability to mount a "stress response", therefore recent and current research has led us to focus on the differences between the pre-term and full-term infanct as well as the term newborn and the older child. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the scientific principles inherent in the practice of anaesthesia for the newborn together with practical advice for the management of routine and complex conditions.
