Zusammenfassung
Die sichere anästhesiologische Versorgung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit körperlichen
oder geistigen Behinderungen ist zumeist zeitaufwendig und anspruchsvoll. In diesem
Beitrag wollen
wir auf Besonderheiten in der perioperativen Versorgung von behinderten Kindern
und Jugendlichen hinweisen. Auf die Probleme bei der Anästhesie von Kindern mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störung,
infantiler Zerebralparese und Trisomie 21 gehen wir im Anschluss näher ein.
Abstract
Children and adolescents with disabilities have the right of full and effective participation
and inclusion in society. Disability includes a wide range of long-term physical,
mental,
intellectual and sensory impairments for various reasons. In addition to the
basic illness many children with disabilities have concomitant diseases. These diseases
are decisive for the
perioperative risk. Information from parents regarding their childʼs behavioural
patterns and needs, signs of escalating anxiety and pain are important. Perioperative
dialog with the parents
is helpful and has positive effects also from parental point of view. Pharmacologic
premedication is recommended. Induction of anaesthesia can be challenging and sometimes
requires
unconventional methods. Pain behaviour may be unusual. There are suitable scales
that incorporate such behaviours.
