Abstract
An understanding of the risk factors associated with anaesthesia in children with acute or chronic associated medical conditions is important to direct the pre-operative assessment and preparation and to optimize the anaesthetic plan in order to anticipate and prevent perioperative complications. Here, we outline the relevant clinical features and anaesthetic management of some common medical conditions in children. For routine pre-operative assessment, see pages 489–94 (in this issue).
