AB Analgesic  dosing  is  administered  to  perioperative  children  based  on  age-specific  pain  assessment  scoring.Analgesics  available  to  children  include  all  dosage  routes,  specific  drug  concentrations,  and  dosing  frequencies  based  on  pediatric  age-specific  drug  distribution  and  utilization  differences.Regional  anesthetic  techniques  can  often  be  combined  with  perioperative  analgesics,  assuring  continued  pain  control  well  into  the  postoperative  period.Use  of  the  patient-controlled  analgesia  (PCA)  is  both  effective  and  safe  in  pediatric  pain  control.Clear  fluids  administered  PO  in  healthy  infants  and  children  3  to  4  hours  before  the  induction  of  general  anesthesia  is  safe.The  uptake  of  inhalational  anesthetics  occurs  more  rapidly  in  children  than  in  adults.
