title: [Terminology in the context of anesthesia for preterm and term newborns and infants].
abstract: An acceptable, standardized and mandatory terminology is important for the planning and implementation of anesthetic procedures on term and preterm newborns and infants. Contradictory use of perinatal terminology poses a problem in current medical practice. This article provides an overview of conventional definitions and technical terms. It also puts forward terminological principles for a model of risk stratification of anesthesia in the newborn period and infancy.
