Learning Objectives:
1. To review the physiologic differences in cardiopulmonary, renal, hepatic, and other organ systems that exist in the transition from the foetus to the neonate to the young infant that may impact upon the care of these patients.
2. To identify the various congenital syndromes that require surgical intervention in the term infant, such as omphalocele, gastroschisis, duodenal atresia, and pyloric stenosis. (thoracic emergencies will be covered in another lecture).
3. To understand the physical requirements of the operating room, as well as the necessary equipment needed for monitoring and vascular access that will assist you in formulating an appropriate anaesthetic plan for these children.

2. To understand the preoperative evaluation of a child with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) including sleep study results and postoperative monitoring needs, and to integrate this information into the anaesthetic plan.
3. To understand the advantages and disadvantages of inhalational induction versus intravenous induction in patients with either a foreign body or Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS).

Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the definition of pain and how pain differs between adults and children.
2. To be able to assess pain in children using an age-appropriate pain scale.
3. To be aware of treatment options for the management of mild, moderate, and severe pain in children.
