Children Undergoing Anaesthesia: What Are The Rights Of The Child?

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) outlines the rights of the child and is the grounds on how we care for children in healthcare institutions. Anesthesiologists are obliged to respect the child's rights when undertaking pediatric anesthesia. The Safe Anesthesia for every tot initiative (SAFETOTS) has translated the UNCRC and the EACH (European Association for Children in Hospitals) charter into 10 articles, which are operational for clinical use. This review aims to discuss each of these articles and how they are applied in clinical practice.
