Journey with us into the realm of pediatric anesthesia as Dr. Britta Regli-von Ungern-Sternberg and OpenAnesthesia Editor Dr. Jina Sinskey discuss perioperative respiratory adverse events in pediatric patients. Reflecting on the pivotal 2010 Lancet study and the more recent APRICOT study, we explore how anesthesia practices have evolved. Learn about the significant shift towards Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) and the reduced use of Desflurane, alongside practical recommendations like using propofol for high-risk children and preoperative salbutamol administration to mitigate respiratory risks.
Gain a unique perspective on the challenges faced by Perth’s sole children's hospital, especially in managing pediatric cases involving upper respiratory tract infections, including COVID-19. Through detailed insights, understand the criteria for proceeding with or canceling procedures and the logistical hurdles for rural and remote patients. Emphasizing the importance of experience, communication, and tailored approaches, this episode also navigates the balancing act of pursuing a career in academic medicine. Discover the value of mentorship, the necessity of maintaining personal relationships, and the flexibility required to thrive in both professional and personal spheres.
