AB  - In  the  past  most  infants  and  children  with  syndromes  had  anesthesia  and  surgery  in  children’s  hospitals.  These  children  entered  the  hospital  a  day  or  two  before  surgery.  This  gave  the  anesthesiologist  time  to  see  the  patient  a  day  or  more  before  surgery,  become  familiar  with  the  syndrome,  understand  the  patient’s  problems,  and  make  a  plan  to  ensure  safe  and  efficient  completion  of  surgery  and  anesthesia.  Modern  medical  care  has  increased  the  number  of  patients  with  syndromes  who  survive,  often  with  serious  problems  that  require  repeated  surgery.  Because  of  the  way  medicine  is  practiced  today,  these  patients  usually  arrive  in  the  hospital  (often  a  community  general  hospital)  on  the  day  of  surgery  and  have  not  been  seen  or  evaluated  by  an  anesthesiologist  up  to  that  time.  Many  of  these  children  have  problems  that  are  potentially  life-threatening  or  associated  with  severe  difficulties  during  the  induction,  maintenance,  and  awakening  from  anesthesia.
