NAPOLES SMITH, Raúl de Jesús  and  OLIVA REAL, Matilde María. Videoendoscopic anesthesia in the child. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.1, pp.29-34. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 457 patients, attended at the surgical services of the Southern Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from 1996 to 2011, aimed at improving the quality of the anesthetic-surgical therapy in children, to minimize the hospital stay and to decrease the institutional costs, among other aspects. In the series, chronic colecystitis, gynecological and breathing disorders, as well as associated diseases prevailed. As the results of the applied techniques were satisfactory and the complications attributable to the anesthesia were scarce, it was possible to attend children and adolescents in this services.

Keywords : child; chronic colecystitis; anesthetic practice; videoendoscopic surgery; Surgery Service; children hospital.
