Anesthetic Choice in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Surgery

This chapter compares the use of inhaled anesthesia (Civo-flore, ISO, Desflaren) versus intravenous propofol in pediatric surgeries, highlighting an Australian study's findings of increased respiratory complications with inhaled induction, especially in symptomatic children. The recommendation is for IV propofol induction and maintenance to minimize the risk of respiratory issues.
