Session information
- Title:
- 04b_03_01 Body Composition and Growth
- Description:
- The session starts with an introduction to the concept of growth and development, and why this is important for paediatric anaesthesia pharmacology. This includes an important outline of what is ‘normal’. A key point of this session is for the trainee to learn how to calculate approximate weight from the age of the child. The session will also discuss changes in body composition such as muscle and fat, as well as developmental changes in fluid compartments and blood volume. Lastly, the session will indicate how organs develop in terms of relative size, blood flow and maturity. The implications of these factors are briefly discussed.
