Prof. Kai Zacharowski of the European Society of Anaesthesiology begins his keynote speech with a story from the 1950s about an innovation that saved hundreds of lives. Kai's '5 R's', the right drug, right route, right time, right dose, and right patient, emphasize moving forward in a standardized way in order to protect patients. He urges anesthesiologists to take in the idea that children receiving anesthesia are not just half adults, but are individual, unique cases.
