Background and Aims While the overall organization of pediatric anesthesia is similar to that of adults, there are some unique aspects related specifically to the physiological, psychological, and anatomical variations. In children under three years old, morbidity associated with anesthesia is still significant, and it is higher in infants under one year old. We can design a suitable preventive approach and gain a better understanding of the risk factors unique to children by conducting surveys on the morbidity and mortality of pediatric anesthesia. We conducted our study in this setting to assess our procedures.

Methods prospective observational study conducted in the operating room for pediatric surgery. Every incidence and negative consequence that happened throughout the study period was gathered.

Results Males made up 54.8% of the sample throughout this study period, while females made up 45.2%. The majority of patients (ASA1 78%) were in good health. Assistants to anesthetists performed 83% of the anesthetic operations. We have 3,15% of adverse occurrences on file. In our analysis, cardiovascular events and accidents made up the majority (16.8%). No deaths attributed to anesthesia are noted

Conclusions A large-scale, systematic survey of life-threatening anaesthesia situations could cover the whole range of potential risks.
