What are the Challenges of Administering Anesthesia to Neonates?
Neonates present numerous challenges in anesthesia due to their immature organ systems. Their small size and underdeveloped organs, particularly the liver and kidneys, affect the metabolism and excretion of anesthetic drugs. Additionally, their cardiovascular and respiratory systems are highly sensitive to anesthetic agents, increasing the risk of complications such as hypotension and apnea.
