Abstract:
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) is performed rarely in pediatric patients. We present our anesthetic management of an 18-month-old girl who underwent a Whipple procedure for a mass in the head of the pancreas that was causing obstructive cholangiopathy. We explore the differences between pediatric and adult patients presenting for Whipple procedure, with a focus on pediatric anesthetic management. Key considerations include blood and fluid management, perioperative analgesia, and postoperative care.
