Abstract
Among the most essential tenets of pediatrics is the understanding of the developmental differences that separate the neonate, infant, child and adult. These differences are especially pronounced in the neonate and infant. A brief overview of important physiologic and anatomic differences between the neonate, infant, child and adult will provide a foundation for providing optimal postoperative ICU care.
