Racial Disparities in Pediatric Anesthesia. Racial disparities in health care have been extensively documented. Although race is a recognized determinant of the incidence and outcome of disease, few studies have examined the role of race in the delivery of pediatric perianesthesia care. Whereas racial differences in health outcomes may not be easy to modify, disparities in health care delivery are modifiable. The authors examined literature to determine whether racial disparities exist in the delivery of pediatric anesthesia. They explored putative contributors to disparities at the provider, patient, and systems level and propose ideas to address potential causes of disparities in the practice of pediatric anesthesia.
