Abstract

Pediatric cataract surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia. The special concern of general anesthesia in pediatric cataract surgery is its safety. It requires a trained anesthetist with special training and experience in pediatric anesthesia. A detailed history should be obtained from parent or guardian for any history of bronchial asthma, heart or any other diagnosed disease, history of allergies. History of drug taken by child such as anticonvulsant, corticosteroid or treatment for bronchial asthma or any other drugs which may interfere with anesthesia induction. Any family history anesthesia related death is recorded. Induction is mainly by inhalatory induction in young children to make it easy to insert venous cannula. Vapor of choice for inhalation induction includes Sevoflurane because of less irritation to upper respiratory airways. Orotracheal intubation anesthesia is most preferred choice. Laryngeal mask airways use is associated with low incidence of lower airways infection.
