Abstract

About 70 percent of all pediatric care is delivered in non‐pediatric hospitals. A variety of factors have prompted community hospitals to initiate or expand existing pediatric surgical services. These include changes in medical economics and the evolving payer system, urban sprawl, patient access demands, and better community availability of pediatric sub‐specialists. Moreover, some community hospitals are providing complex pediatric surgery or are operating on young infants β€” services that were once exclusively the domain of the tertiary pediatric provider. These recent demographic changes have raised concerns regarding the quality and safety of anesthesia services at these institutions.

This article discusses the unique characteristics of the pediatric surgical patient and the clinical risks associated with pediatric anesthesia. The authors offer strategies and recommendations for ensuring patient safety and managing credentialing and privileging issues.
