Anesthésie ambulatoire des enfants atteints d’un trouble du spectre autistique
Abstract
The anesthetic management of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) must be tailored to their specific needs. A targeted preoperative assessment helps anticipate challenges and reduce stress, and can be complemented by an anxiolytic premedication depending on the severity of the ASD. Using visual tools and involving parents promote better communication. A calm environment and specific measures facilitate postoperative recovery. When well-prepared and individualized, general anesthesia remains a safe and beneficial approach for these patients.
