More recent research, however, suggests that children with uncomplicated infections can be managed safely, given that most complications can be anticipated, recognized, and treated. This review summarizes the evolving literature regarding cancellation of surgery for the child with an upper respiratory infection, perioperative outcomes, and anesthetic management.
