Many parents are concerned about whether general anesthesia will have a negative impact on their child’s brain, whether it will affect intelligence and memory, etc. In fact, this concern is unnecessary. Although any medical operation has risk, the risk of general anesthesia is very low, and nowadays the anesthesia drugs work quickly and the anesthesia risk is even lower when the awakening is also fast. 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 from the body, 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 brain hypoxia has occurred. This is because the brain is very sensitive to oxygen. However, parents do not need to worry, during the whole general anesthesia, your baby will be supplied with sufficient oxygen, there is a full monitoring of blood oxygen saturation, and there is also a modern high-tech life monitor watching, the doctor can always know the changes of oxygen level and other vital indicators in the child’s body. Therefore, general anesthesia is very safe.
