1. Aim and field of application This document was drawn up by a Joint Committee of two Italian scientific societies: SIAARTI (Società Italiana di Anestesia, Rianimazione e Terapia Intensiva) and SARNePI (Società Italiana di Anestesia, Rianimazione Neonatale e Pediatrica). It sets out the clinical standards aimed at limiting the risk of major complications during general or regional anaesthesia, or deep sedation, in children. These standards are based on analysis of the literature and the expertise of the Committee members. The document will be regularly updated in the light of future scientific evidence and the recommended process of centralization of children’s care.
