Anaesthetic Practice in Paediatrics

This section covers anaesthetic practice for paediatric patients.

There haven't been any CRQs based purely on these topics, instead incorporating the principles into other questions.

The curriculum itself focuses mostly on the perioperative care of neonates, so if you only have time for one topic from the list below perhaps choose that one!

• Induction & intra-operative
• Anaesthesia for the neonate
• Paediatric RSI
• Inhalational induction
• TIVA
• Fluid therapy


• Post-operative
• PONV
• Paediatric pain (from the Pain Medicine section)
• Emergence delirium
• Effects of anaesthesia on the developing child


• Sedation & Remote anaesthesia
• Paediatric sedation
• Imaging under GA (in brief)
