Introduction: Providing anesthesia for pediatric orthopedic patients poses unique challenges for anesthesiologists. The approach must consider the psychological development of the child and the prevalence of respiratory infections. Pain management, management of concomitant diseases, and risk reduction for adverse events are crucial aspects of anesthetic care. This blog post will review the perioperative concerns specific to pediatric orthopedic procedures, discuss pain control methods used, and highlight anesthetic considerations for certain surgeries.

Select Pediatric Perioperative Concerns:
Anesthetic Management for Orthopedic Procedures:
Anesthetic Considerations for Select Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeries: Scoliosis Surgery: Anesthetic concerns during scoliosis surgery include optimizing neuromonitoring signals, managing blood loss, preventing positioning-related injuries, and minimizing the risk of postoperative visual loss.
Pain Management: Pain control for pediatric orthopedic patients involves a multimodal pharmacologic approach to minimize opioid requirements. This approach includes non-opioid analgesics, local anesthetics, and regional anesthesia techniques. Regional anesthesia, such as peripheral nerve blocks and caudal anesthesia, is particularly valuable for postoperative pain control. Recent studies have confirmed the safety of regional anesthesia in the pediatric population.
Pediatric orthopedic surgeries present unique challenges for anesthesiologists. Effective management of preoperative anxiety, careful consideration of upper respiratory tract infections, and appropriate pain control strategies are essential for successful outcomes. Anesthesiologists must tailor their approach to the specific needs of pediatric patients undergoing orthopedic procedures to ensure their safety and well-being.

What you need to know: The Updated CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain
Monday, November 21 at 6:00 pm EDT
NYSPS Legal Briefs
New 2022 CDC Guidelines on
OPIOID USE FOR TREATMENT OF PAIN
The CE experience for this Webinar is powered by CMEfy - click here to reflect and earn credits: https://earnc.me/p1nfCi
The Guidelines state very clearly: “Nonopioid therapies are preferred for subacute and chronic pain.” If you are using opioids for subacute or chronic pain, which including both terms, means treating pain for 1 month or more, your chart must contain some justification for the use of opioids. This is an extremely important matter. Appropriate reasons, such as a prior treater, attempted various nonopioid treatments of some kind that failed. There must be a very good reason why opioids were tried. It must be documented.
