Surgery and Anesthesia
Surgery and Anesthesia addresses perioperative care, surgical innovations and anesthetic safety for children across specialties. This session is crafted for pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, perioperative nurses and surgical trainees, and covers minimally invasive techniques, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) tailored for pediatrics, perioperative analgesia protocols that reduce opioid exposure, and simulation-based training to improve team performance in critical events. Presentations will include congenital and acquired surgical conditions, neonatal and infant anaesthesia considerations, airway management, and perioperative risk stratification to reduce complications.

Clinical Impact & Practical Takeaways
Safer Anesthesia for Infants
Neonate-specific monitoring and airway protocols lower perioperative risk.
Quicker Recovery
ERAS protocols adapted for children shorten hospital stays and improve experience.
Better Pain Control
Multimodal analgesia and regional techniques reduce opioid reliance and speed mobilisation.
Enhanced Team Readiness
Simulation and structured communication tools reduce adverse events and improve outcomes.
