title: Management of the paediatric patient.
abstract: Recent introduction of new fast-onset short-duration anaesthetic drugs and the use of regional anaesthesia techniques in children have resulted in good control of anaesthesia and perioperative pain with few adverse effects. Ambulatory surgery has gained popularity in paediatric practice, particularly as children are often otherwise healthy and usually undergo minor surgery.
