This book offers comprehensive management strategies for complex conditions in frail pediatric patients, addressing the unique challenges of frailty in children. It provides guidance on medical and surgical emergencies, short and long-term treatment strategies, and innovative techniques. An invaluable resource for pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, critical care physicians, pediatricians, nurses, physiotherapists, and psychologists, aiming to improve life expectancy and quality of life for fragile children. Includes 3 b/w and 54 color illustrations. Frailty in Children focuses on the multidimensional decline of organ systems related to age, which can paradoxically occur in children as a disability from congenital or acquired diseases. Fragile patients are more vulnerable to severe clinical events and often require surgical interventions, leading to significant morbidity and lower quality of life. The book bridges the gap in continuity of care during the critical transition from childhood to adulthood for these patients.
