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.
