This meeting addressed the dilemma of how to anaesthetise two children simultaneously when they're attached to each other. For most anaesthetists at the Royal or Aintree, anaesthetising one is too challenging to contemplate and even at Alder Hey, the thought of two at once would be extremely daunting but we heard how those clever doctors down in London don't seem to be phased at all. Dr Ann Black showed us the value of good planning and team work particularly when everyone's watching.
