Did a 4 year old T&A with severe asthma (including hospitalizations) and OSA today. We don't have a pediatric anesthesiologist in our practice which made me wonder:
"At what age or co-morbidity will you refer to a pediatric anesthesiologist?"
I tried looking up if there are any guidelines or cut-off for age or complexity of the case and couldn't find anything substantial. Wondering if a general anesthesiologist has privileges to treat all ages but sub-specialty in pediatric will only strengthen your ability.
