Q: What type of anesthesia is currently used for laparoscopic surgery? A: General anesthesia is used for laparoscopic surgery with endotracheal intubation. Q: Is this type of anesthesia safe? A: This type of anesthesia is actually the safest type of anesthesia because oxygen is supplied through the endotracheal tube anesthesia machine, and the child will not be deprived of oxygen in the state of respiratory depression. It ensures that there will be no brain hypoxia during the operation. As long as the child does not have other brain, lung or tracheal related diseases, anesthesia accidents are generally unlikely to occur. (For example, the risk of an anesthetic accident during a hernia surgery is lower than the risk of being hit by a car when going out) Q: Will this anesthesia affect the IQ of children? A: There are no relevant animal and human experiments to prove this point. At present, China carries out hundreds of millions of surgical anesthesia each year, and there are no reports of memory loss, amnesia, mental disorders and other related manifestations after anesthesia. Besides, anesthetic drugs are approved for use by the state (people all over the world are using them). Q: Can a child be operated without general anesthesia? A: No, because children who have hernia surgery are younger and cannot cooperate with the surgery. If the surgery is done under local anesthesia, there may be surgical accidents or the pain of surgical anesthesia may leave permanent painful memories for the child, so general anesthesia is safe instead. Q: Will the child be in pain after the surgery? A: Different children will have different experiences of post-operative wound pain, which may be related to the different pain thresholds of the human body, some babies are quiet after surgery, some are irritable. Some babies are quiet after surgery, while others are irritable. Generally, they will be fine the day after surgery. Q: Is there anything to note about anesthesia after surgery? A: After surgery, most babies will have edema in the throat, increased secretions, and coughing up phlegm that cannot be coughed out, so nebulization and sputum patting are usually needed after surgery.
