ABSTRACT
As a result of increased use of risk-directed treatment regimes, there is a regular requirement for short-lasting but painful procedures to be performed on children to aid in diagnosis or treatment. The aim of any anaesthetic technique is to provide analgesia and amnesia with minimal side-effects and early return to former activity levels. We review the implications of haematological malignancy in children with regard to anaesthesia and the consequences arising from both the disease and ensuing treatment. We outline some of the current anaesthetic techniques in use and review the advantages and disadvantages of each.
