Failure to Complete Proton Beam Therapy Relating to Problems With Anesthesia
Anesthetic care for PBT is more complex as compared to X-ray therapy. A small group of children, particularly those with central nervous system tumors or altered respiratory control, may be at increased and sometimes unpredictable risk. Safe and sustainable care for PBT is possible with careful history taking, planning, and identification of patients at a higher risk of adverse events.
