Course curriculum

1.Features of anatomy and physiology in children and their applied significance for the anesthesiologist-resuscitator
• Periods of childhood, anthropometry
• Airways. The respiratory system
• Cardiovascular system
• Central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, head and neck region
• Kidneys, water balance
• Blood system
• Gastrointestinal tract, liver, metabolism
• Thermoregulation. Pain. Features of pharmacokinetics
2.Preoperative preparation. Working with an anxious child
• General provisions, conversation with parents, history taking
• Examination, concomitant problems
• Assessment of anesthetic risk
• The anxious child
• Premedication
• Prevention of nausea and vomiting
3.Equipment for working with children, clinical and instrumental monitoring, peripheral vascular access
• Equipment for airway management
• Breathing circuits, filters
• Features of mechanical ventilation
• Catheters, defibrillators, arterial blood pressure
• Monitoring
• Vascular access
4.Sedation and anesthesia outside the operating room
• What is “anesthesia outside the operating room”?
• Levels of sedation
• Anesthesia during endoscopic interventions
• Anesthesia during imaging studies
• Radiation safety
• Other procedures requiring anesthesia
• Criteria for patient transfer after anesthesia
5. Acute pain management
• Physiology of pain
• Pain assessment
• Basic principles of therapy
• Transformation of acute pain into chronic pain

A child is not a "smaller adult": dosing, airways, and hemodynamics require separate knowledge, and the margin for error is minimal. The course lays a solid foundation in pediatric anesthesiology, based on age-related physiology and the principles of perioperative safety.

You will plan anesthetic management in children more confidently, anticipate critical situations, and act according to a clear algorithm. The program has been prepared taking into account modern protocols and the practice of pediatric anesthesiologists-intensivists.
