The purpose of The Pediatric Anesthesia Manual is to provide an initial exposure to a variety of pediatric cases. The length of this rotation, 4 weeks, is enough to allow participation in the care of about 100 patients. Residents on this rotation should be able to develop skills for setting up OR for pediatric patients of different ages and should master skills in mask ventilation and intubation of pediatric patients including neonates. Topics for discussion should include neonatal emergencies, pediatric airways, ETT cases, general surgical cases, and questions from written and oral boards. One of the goals of this rotation is to prepare residents for routine "bread and butter" cases, to be safe with pediatric patients, and to be able to identify situations in which he or she might need help.
