“…Identification of risk factors is a useful exercise only if it contributes to the development of strategies that improve outcome. Adverse events in medicine have been shown to be reduced when experienced practitioners are responsible for the treatment of high‐risk cases (18). It follows therefore that anesthetists with additional expertise or training would be best suited to provide anesthetic services to children who have been identified to be at increased risk.…”

Risk in pediatric anesthesia can be conveniently classified as minor or major. Major morbidity includes cardiac arrest, brain damage and death. Minor morbidity can be assessed by clinical audits with small patient samples. Major morbidity is rare. It is best assessed by very large clinical studies and by review of closed malpractice claims. Both minor and major morbidity occur most commonly in infants and children under three, especially those with severe co-morbidities. Knowledge of risk profiles in pediatric anesthesia is a starting point for the reduction of risk.

“…During the last decades, new drugs, technology improvement, and standards for basic patient monitoring produced a dramatic decrease in anesthesia‐related morbidity and mortality (1–4). Incidence reporting is a well‐established method for improving patients’ safety.…”

Infants were at the highest risk to experience adverse events. Although experimental electronic incident reporting proved to be feasible, there is reason to suspect that there was underreporting of near misses. Overreporting of near miss events may be enhanced by easier and more straightforward reporting forms as well as by better education for anesthetic providers about the importance of recognizing and reporting near misses.

“…Mortality associated with anaesthesia has decreased dramatically from 6 per 10000 in 1947–56 to 0.36 per 10000 in 2000 (1–3). This is due to subspecialization, introduction of new drugs that are easily titratable with better safety profiles, advanced technology for patient monitoring and implementation of standards for basic patient monitoring during anaesthesia (4–7). However, morbidity, although declining, still occurs; therefore, quality assurance programs have been introduced in many centres.…”
