In this Problem-Based Learning Discussion session the participants will be provided with a typical community setting case of a 4-year old child of African descent scheduled for elective ambulatory adenotonsillectomy for obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) complicated by a recent "cold", a history of stable asthma with eczema and who is nervous to go into the OR. The facilitated discussion will capture:
1. Preoperative: Assessment, optimization and disposition planning;
2. Intraoperative: Airway management and analgesia including opioid sparing and opioid free approaches;
3. Postoperative: monitoring and risks for unanticipated admission. The session will include a 5-question pre/post test and relevant references will be provided.
