Pediatric Intensive Care：A Valuable Learning Experience for All Anesthesiologists

Abstract

The advantages of training anesthesiologists in intensive care are clear. A thorough knowledge of postoperative care helps these physicians make informed decisions regarding anesthesia protocols, allowing their patients to recover safely, comfortably, and quickly. Furthermore, training in pediatric intensive care, in addition to that in adult intensive care and/or anesthesia, provides the following advantages：

（1）Improves personalized care skills

（2）Improves the ability to obtain and analyze information from patients and monitor systems

（3）Improves knowledge regarding the choice and use of sedatives

（4）Provides increased experience in heart-lung interactions

（5）Improves the ability to explain treatments to family members

（6）Provides increased opportunities to conduct medical research

For the maximum achievement of the above abilities, it is also imperative to create a system allowing anesthesiologists who primarily provide care to adult patients to receive safe and secure training in pediatric intensive care units, which is usually an unfamiliar environment.
