Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia Our ophthalmology department at Children’s Hospital has launched a new program for surgery under sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia in the International Department. It is introduced as follows: Sevoflurane is the latest highly effective inhalation anesthetic in the world today. It is a colorless, transparent, fragrant and non-irritating volatile liquid. Compared with the traditional technique of tracheal intubation, the advantages of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia are: 1. It is colorless, transparent, slightly fragrant and non-irritating to the respiratory tract, which is easily accepted by children. 2, no need to inject, only need to mask the gas delivery can be effective, the baby will not be afraid to cry, the application is safe and comfortable, parents are also easy to accept. 3.Anesthesia takes effect quickly, wakes up quickly, the depth of anesthesia is easy to adjust during the operation, and there are few adverse reactions, in layman’s terms, “the baby smells sweetly asleep, and has woken up after the operation.” 4.After stopping the drug, the awakening time of the child is usually 3-5 minutes, not more than 10 minutes, awake completely, rarely fall asleep again, no obvious nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache, cough, laryngeal and bronchial spasm and edema and other complications. 5,There is almost no effect on cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen supply. 6,Eliminate the pain of tracheal intubation for babies by traditional anesthesia. Second, the risk of general anesthesia: Many parents are concerned about whether general anesthesia will have a negative impact on the child’s brain, whether it affects intelligence, memory, etc., in fact, this concern is unnecessary. Although any medical operation has risk, the risk of general anesthesia is very low, and the risk of inhalation anesthesia, which is fast-acting and quick to wake up, is even lower with sevoflurane. The anesthetic effect of general anesthesia on the brain is also short-lived, and when the anesthesia is over and the drug is rapidly excreted, the brain’s function will be completely restored to normal. In fact, the real impact on brain function does not depend on anesthesia, but directly on whether or not cerebral hypoxia has occurred. This is because the brain is very sensitive to oxygen. However, parents do not have to worry, during the whole general anesthesia, your baby will be supplied with sufficient oxygen, there is the monitoring of blood oxygen saturation throughout the whole process, and there is also the watchful eye of modern high-tech life monitor, the doctor can know the changes of oxygen level and other vital indicators in your child’s body at any time. Therefore, sevoflurane inhalation general anesthesia is very safe. Indications for anesthesia: Various medium and large ophthalmic surgeries for children: strabismus surgery ptosis surgery older lacrimal intubation surgery complex lacrimal intubation surgery ophthalmic plastic surgery chalazion skin surface needs plastic surgery small lid fissure syndrome cataract surgery glaucoma surgery Postoperative precautions: 1. The child will cry and be irritable for a short time after waking up, but will be quiet soon. 2. The child should be watched closely to prevent crying from tearing off the bandage or gauze by itself, or even injuring the operated eye. 3. The child should not eat until he/she is fully awake. 4. Only after the child is fully awake can he/she be withdrawn from cardiac monitoring and observed for one hour and leave the hospital. V. Pre-anesthesia examination: 1. Children who need sevoflurane anesthesia should have all kinds of relevant examinations before surgery according to the doctor’s orders. 2.The international department needs to do various examinations in advance on Monday
