Thanks to modern medicine, the agony of surgery can be considerably blunted even for the very young.聽 Moreover, these children can receive medications for other minor or major interventions, such as stitching up bad cuts. How much is too much? Are these meds without risk? What are the complications? How can parents help or hinder the process? These questions and others will be addressed at the three-day Canadian Pediatric Anesthesia Society Annual Meeting, which starts today.

鈥淭he goal of our conference is to share knowledge and address key issues, such as parental involvement,鈥� says Dr. Davinia Withington, Associate Professor in Depts of Anesthesia and Pediatrics at the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital of the MUHC and co-organizer of the meeting with Dr. Josee Lavoie, Associate Professor of Anesthesia at Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital. 鈥淐reating the right environment pre-surgery is incredibly important for both the physician and the child. For example, having parents in the room isn鈥檛 always beneficial. This is one of the many topics to be discussed.鈥�

Other topics include:

• How to anesthetize children with pre-existing conditions such as congenital heart disease.
• The use and effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (e.g. ibuprofen) on bone healing.

• The evaluation of anesthesia machine standards.

鈥淢ore than 80 anesthesiologists from across Canada and overseas will attend,鈥� adds Dr. Withington.
