The aims of the APRICOT study are:
- To establish the incidence of severe critical events in children undergoing anaesthesia in Europe.
- To describe the differences in paediatric anaesthesia practise throughout Europe.
- To study the potential impact of this variability on the occurrence of severe critical events (e.g.: laryngospasm, bronchospasm, aspiration, anaphylaxis, cardiovascular instability, neurological damage and cardiac arrest…).
