Abstract:
Paediatric neurosurgery has seen significant increases and improvements because of advancements in technology and monitoring techniques. This type of surgery presents unique challenges to the anaesthesiology team because of the general characteristics of paediatric patients and the complexity of the procedures. Managing paediatric patients undergoing complex neurosurgery requires profound knowledge of age-related normal physiology and the principles of common paediatric neuroanaesthesia. This review focuses on updated information about various critical topics in paediatric neurophysiology, bleeding management, acute pain treatment, intraoperative neuromonitoring, the specifics of the sitting position, and the general principles of paediatric neuroanaesthesia.
