This grid of the paediatric activities implies a new organization both in paediatric surgery and in paediatric ENT and consequently in the anaesthetic organization. Anaesthetic competences necessary to the achievement of this mission and the means of maintaining these later are analyzed and compared with some foreign experiments.
