title: Sedation, analgesia, and anesthesia issues in the pediatric patient.
abstract: Pediatric and adolescent patients facing analgesia, anesthesia, and surgical procedures require different considerations than adults do. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative time periods are discussed. Analgesia considerations outside the operating room are covered. The practicing podiatric physician will be able to assess better the physical needs of the pediatric patient by understanding and incorporating their emotional needs.
