- Title
Anaesthesia for cerebral palsy.
- Authors
Dean, Jonathan
- Abstract
Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous condition that places a significant global burden on healthcare resources. There are multiple aetiological processes that lead to neurological damage before, during or after birth. Treatment options are many and individualised management plans focused on relieving suffering and improving function should be the mainstay of treatment. The anaesthetist must be aware of key aspects of the condition that may be particularly challenging such as communication, pain control and respiratory compromise. Thorough preoperative assessment and planning including discussion with family members will help the team to provide the best healthcare possible.
