1.Does general anesthesia make a child stupid? There is no evidence that a child’s intelligence will decrease after general anesthesia compared with that before anesthesia. Some adult patients with memory loss after general anesthesia, unable to recall the scene during the operation, may be related to the use of sedative-hypnotic drugs, intravenous anesthesia drugs and anesthetic gases during anesthesia, once the drugs are metabolized, the brain function can return to normal. The anesthetic process is reversible and recoverable. Pediatric anesthesiology was born in the 1950s and 1960s, and after recent leaps and bounds in the last two or three decades, a more complete set of theoretical systems and medication protocols have been formed. Pediatric anesthesia is very different from adult anesthesia. It has been recognized that pediatrics are not a microcosm of adults, and that children of every age have their own unique physiological characteristics. An experienced pediatric anesthesiologist is the key to the success of the entire anesthesia, and even the surgery. An experienced pediatric anesthesiologist not only ensures a smooth and uneventful surgery, but also provides good post-surgical analgesia for the child to get through the surgery. Nowadays, the commonly used drugs for pediatric anesthesia have the characteristics of fast onset, short duration of action, good controllability and good effect. It can be said that the theory of anesthesia is improving day by day, the anesthesia equipment is increasingly updated and the anesthesia drugs are changing day by day, all of these for the safety of pediatric anesthesia provides a strong technical guarantee. 2, anesthesia is a shot so simple? No matter what kind of anesthesia, the first operation step of anesthesia is to open the vein, but do you know what the anesthesiologist is doing when your child is under general anesthesia after using drugs? Once the anesthesiologist starts anesthetizing your child, he or she is with your child the whole time, monitoring your child’s vital signs (such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation) and taking decisive action if something unexpected happens. Anesthesia is not as simple as a shot, but rather a temporary loss of consciousness after the patient has been given general anesthesia medication and is unaware of what is happening in the outside world. The anesthesiologist will stay with the child after the anesthesia and ensure the child’s safety with the help of various advanced monitoring devices. Oral and maxillofacial surgery surgery most of the use of tracheal intubation anesthesia, respiratory assistance in the entire surgical process of the child to breathe, to be completed after the anesthesia awakening of the child to resume breathing on their own will be pulled out of the tracheal tube. 3, the child using analgesic drugs is harmful, have pain or endure it! Many parents are worried about the side effects of analgesics and refuse to give their children postoperative analgesic treatment. This “love” may cause more harm to the child. Post-operative pain may cause the child’s blood pressure to rise, heartbeat to accelerate, crying, not eating or drinking, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. If the right amount of analgesic medication is used at this time, the child’s discomfort is likely to improve immediately. While parents’ concerns about medication are understandable, it is not clear that pain is even more harmful to the human body. Modern medicine has found that pain triggers the secretion of certain damaging hormones in the body. Analgesic drugs are now available in a wide variety of forms with different mechanisms of action, which provides clinicians with a wide range of choices. Therefore, the benefits of analgesic therapy far outweigh the disadvantages when analgesic medications are selected and used appropriately, and when possible side effects are monitored and treated promptly after administration.
