Abstract

This chapter discusses brain development with a focus on topics that are clinically relevant to the pediatric anesthesiologist. Development of the pathways and neurotransmitters involved in pain transmission is outlined in addition to an expanded focus on cerebrovascular physiology. Clinically common neurological injuries are discussed as a function of developmental stage of occurrence. The physiology of the intracranial compartment and vasculature is emphasized, as are tools that the pediatric anesthesiologist can use to prevent secondary neurological injury.
