PY - 2014 T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e 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.
