Neurodivergent (ND) individuals exhibit variations in communication, behaviors, and cognition, which present both opportunities and challenges in healthcare settings. Anesthesiologists can offer personalized and compassionate care to ND patients throughout the surgical process. Yet, often, there is limited knowledge of the specific actions that anesthesiologists can take to build a healthcare environment that fully recognizes and meets the unique needs of ND patients. This document highlights the importance of integrating tailored communication and supportive strategies throughout the distinct stages of perioperative and intraoperative care.
神经发育障碍（ND）个体在沟通、行为和认知方面存在差异，这在医疗环境中既带来了机遇，也带来了挑战。麻醉医生可以在整个手术过程中为ND患者提供个性化且富有同情心的护理。然而，通常情况下，对于麻醉医生为营造一个充分认识并满足ND患者独特需求的医疗环境可采取的具体行动，人们了解有限。本文强调了在围手术期和术中护理的不同阶段整合针对性沟通和支持策略的重要性。
