Abstract

This article is an update of anaesthesia for common paediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) procedures. ENT pathology is the most common indication for surgery in children. An increasing number are performed as day cases, even in the presence of comorbidities such as obstructive sleep apnoea, but judicious selection of suitable children remains important. Considerations include severity of disease, known difficult airway, complex comorbidities and the surgical centre. The anaesthetic management of frequently performed paediatric ENT procedures will be discussed, including the potential role for dexmedetomidine and recent advances using transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange.
