Parents are concerned about the need for general anesthesia for pediatric burn surgery, fearing that the experience of anesthesia will affect the child’s intelligence. In this regard, parents can understand this mood, but there is no need to worry too much. General anesthesia is a process in which anesthetic drugs are given through the airway or intravenously to suppress the central nervous system so that the patient loses consciousness and feels no pain. A child under general anesthesia will be in a deep sleep and the neurological state will return to normal after awakening from the anesthesia. Current studies have not shown a direct relationship between pediatric intelligence and general anesthesia. The decision to use anesthesia for burn surgery is based on the extent of the surgery and the child’s level of cooperation. If the child is unable to cooperate with the surgeon as well as an adult and cannot remain in a fixed position for long periods of time, general anesthesia can be used to minimize the physical and psychological impact of the surgery on the child. If a pediatric patient needs general anesthesia, try to avoid the child having cold symptoms half a month before surgery and avoid prolonged bed rest the day before surgery to prevent aspiration pneumonia caused by the residual gastric contents due to prolonged gastric emptying time during surgery.
