What is Neonatal anaesthesia about?

Neonatal anaesthesia requires an understanding of how neonates differ from adults and older children in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. There are also pathological and surgical conditions in neonates that are associated with unique anaesthesia challenges. Organ systems are generally immature, reducing the clearance of many drugs, while different water and fat content results in altered volumes of distribution. Pharmacological management is further complicated by a lack of basic pharmacokinetic data for the use of most anaesthetic drugs in neonates. At birth, there is a transition from a fetal circulation. Some aspects of fetal physiology can persist and have an impact on anaesthesia care, for example, exaggerated hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Small size, organ immaturity, and reduced physiological reserve can also result in rapid changes to cardiovascular or respiratory status during surgery. Neonates are also very vulnerable to injury, particularly pulmonary or neurological damage. Even brief episodes of over-inflation or hyperoxia may have long-lasting effects on the lung. Safe neonatal anaesthesia thus requires appropriate equipment and ventilators, careful monitori
