Knowing the anatomical differences between the pediatric patient and the

adult patient are important for perioperative anesthetic care. This chapter will describe

the head, neck, and airway anatomical differences in pediatric patients and their

perioperative implications. In addition, this chapter will explore the physiology of

different organ systems in the pediatric patient and the perioperative considerations for

the anesthesia provider.
