It is ironic that as electronic access to medical literature becomes more pervasive, the ability for an individual to maintain a semblance of broad awareness of that body of knowledge becomes more difficult. (Tripathi, 2011)
It is interesting that pain and analgesia topics so strongly dominate this list. It gives the impression that pain relief for the neonate and child was not a priority more than 30 years ago.

A collection of the top 20 most cited pediatric anesthesiology papers of all time from Ravi Tripathi's excellent 2011 study:
Tripathi, R. A bibliometric search of citation classics in anesthesiology. BMC Anesthesiol. 2011 Jan 1;11:24.
These are probably 20 articles that every anaesthetist or anesthesiologist with even a small component of pediatric practice should be aware of – not necessarily because they are still practice changing, but because they our foundational to our current understanding and practice of pediatric anesthesia.
These articles help to both show where we have come from, and where we may be heading.
