Over the last decades change in the profile of common complications in paediatric anesthesia was noticed. The differences between children and adults are distinguished especially in three areas: the high complication rate among neonates, the importance of respiratory disorders in younger children, and the high frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting in older children. Many pitfalls and problems can be avoided by early recognition, quick intervention and strict attention to details of management
