View through CrossRef
Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, is the most common human chromosomal syndrome, with an overall incidence of 1:700 live births. Because of its association with other congenital anomalies, children with this syndrome often present for surgical procedures that require general anesthesia. Anesthesiologists caring for these patients must be familiar with the implications of Down syndrome on perioperative care.
