Does general anesthesia affect a child’s intelligence when a small baby needs surgery? This is a question that is almost always asked by parents in clinical work and is a focus of their attention. At present, from the perspective of a large number of postoperative patients worldwide, there is no clear, objective basis for the decline in intelligence after general anesthesia, so parents need not worry much. The risk of anesthesia is mainly respiratory depression and airway obstruction leading to respiratory arrest. This requires active prevention in 3 areas: 1, the child preoperative preparation, the main point is fasting, to prevent vomiting after anesthesia, stomach reflux, blocking the airway and asphyxia. In general, infants who eat milk fast for more than 4 hours, and eat food with scraps need to fast for 6 hours, so that there is no food in the stomach during surgery anesthesia, eliminating this hidden problem. 4 to 6 hours the child can not eat will be hungry and crying, parents are particularly worried about whether the child’s body will be damaged. In fact, a few hours fasting organism is only a drop in blood sugar, the preoperative nurse will give the child a glucose infusion to maintain until after the surgery to eat, there will be no hypoglycemia. 2, to have anesthesia machine and its supporting equipment suitable for pediatric use, our hospital has the United States GE Euro-American anesthesia machine, imported goods, is currently the best equipment for pediatric anesthesia, intraoperative can accurately monitor the indicators of life, to give the best breathing ventilation volume and frequency. There are intubation tubes suitable for each age and size. 3. There should be professional pediatric anesthesiologists. The amount of pediatric anesthesia is calculated according to the weight of the child, and the vital signs change quickly, so we need to have rich experience in pediatric anesthesia. Our anesthesiologists have been to Beijing and Shanghai for further training and have established technical exchanges with the American Children’s Hospital. At present, we can anesthetize newborns born less than 24 hours ago with a weight of less than 1500 grams, and we can do extracorporeal circulation for complex cardiac surgery. With our excellent technical team, we have not had any anesthesia accidents, and we provide a safe backing for pediatric surgery. In the clinic, we often encounter children who have been seen in outside hospitals and are told that they need to wait until they are older before they can have surgery. In fact, it is because the local hospital does not have the hardware and technology for pediatric anesthesia and lacks the fine surgical skills of pediatric surgeons, and the best time for treatment is missed.
