In high-resource settings most paediatric anaesthesia is undertaken by specialist or subspecialist practitioners. In remote and resource-poor settings it is usual for anaesthetists to care for all ages of patient, and paediatrics can therefore form a large part of the non-specialist’s workload. The chapter contains essential knowledge for the non-specialist paediatric anaesthetist, including equipment sizing, drug doses, and fluid therapy, mostly in handy ‘quick-look’ tables. The presentation and management of common perioperative comorbidities such as malnutrition and sickle cell anaemia are also discussed. The bulk of the chapter covers practical advice on anaesthesia for a range of common paediatric and neonatal surgeries.
