In newborns, infants, and older children, congenital or acquired organ malformations and dysfunctions can lead to specific intra- or postoperative problems. Useful data and experiences for the anesthesiological and intensive medical care of these patients can be found in the literature of various medical sub-disciplines. This book presents a first summary of the anesthesiologically relevant facts of over 100 malformation syndromes and exceptional medical conditions in childhood. The various disease patterns are presented in individual sections, each divided into explanations of the disease, clinical features, and anesthesiological specifics of the condition. Additionally, the appendix contains definitions, data, and dosages significant to pediatric anesthesia. The book is ideal.
