Abstract
As a sedative and analgesic drug, esketamine is widely used in clinical anesthesia. Due to its separation anesthesia, it is particularly suitable for pediatric anesthesia and analgesia. It can not only alleviate the separation anxiety of children, promote smooth separation between children and parents, avoid mental harm to children, but also facilitate relatively stable anesthesia induction. Currently, esketamine is widely used in emergency procedural sedation and analgesia, preoperative sedation, anesthesia outside the operating room, general anesthesia, and regional anesthesia as adjuvant medication. This article reviews the current application status and adverse reactions of esketamine in pediatric anesthesia, providing reference for the application and research of esketamine in pediatric anesthesia.
