Fifty children received general anaesthesia (GA) for diagnostic investigations or tumour resection. Two patients were excluded from the analysis because of treatment prior to GA. Problems with intubation, ventilation and cardiovascular collapse were encountered in 7 of 48 (15%) patients and this resulted in tracheostomy in one patient and death in 2 other cases. When compared with the 41 uncomplicated cases, the presence of at least 3 respiratory symptoms\/signs, tracheal and vascular compression, and infection significantly increased the risk of GA. Of these, tracheal compression remained the strongest predictive factor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Decision to postpone GA should be considered if all these risk factors (tracheal compression, vascular compression, the presence of at least three respiratory symptoms\/signs) are present in the same patient.
