Children are not small adults. Many anatomic, physiologic, pathophysiologic, pharmacologic, and psychological differences exist that require alterations in routine adult anesthetic procedures. An appreciation of these differences and their implications for general anesthesia allow the anesthetist to prevent most morbidity and mortality during pedodontic anesthesia, reduce dental and anesthesia-related fears and phobias, and assuage parental anxiety.
儿童并非缩小版的成人。儿童在解剖学、生理学、病理生理学、药理学和心理学方面存在诸多差异，这就需要对常规的成人麻醉程序进行调整。了解这些差异及其对全身麻醉的影响，有助于麻醉师预防儿童牙科麻醉期间的大多数发病和死亡情况，减少与牙科和麻醉相关的恐惧和恐惧症，并缓解家长的焦虑。
