The population undergoing anaesthesia and the reasons for such a procedure were studied in children (under 15 years of age), through data collected in an INSERM national survey on anaesthesia. This survey was representative of the whole anaesthetic activity performed yearly in France. 750,000 anaesthesias are performed each year in paediatrics, giving an annual rate of 6.4 anaesthesias per 100 children. The highest rate was observed at the age of 4 years, and the higher percentage of boys exists at any age. The main fields of intervention are ENT surgery (30.9%), digestive surgery (25.2%), orthopedic and trauma surgery (12,2%) and surgery on male genitalia (8.9%). The most common procedure is appendectomy which accounts for one fifth of all procedures in children (153,000 each year).
通过法国国家医学与健康研究院（INSERM）一项关于麻醉的全国性调查所收集的数据，对15岁以下儿童接受麻醉的人群及其接受该手术的原因进行了研究。这项调查代表了法国每年进行的所有麻醉活动。每年儿科进行750,000例麻醉，即每100名儿童中有6.4例麻醉的年发生率。4岁时观察到最高发生率，且各年龄段男孩的比例更高。主要干预领域为耳鼻喉科手术（30.9%）、消化外科手术（25.2%）、骨科和创伤外科手术（12.2%）以及男性生殖器手术（8.9%）。最常见的手术是阑尾切除术，占儿童所有手术的五分之一（每年153,000例）。
