The harm of general anesthesia surgery to children

Children's physical health is very important, but children often suffer from illnesses. If surgery is required to treat a disease, special attention should be paid to the use of anesthetics. After some serious diseases occur, children's bodies will not be able to bear it. If surgery is used to treat the disease, excessive use of anesthetics will affect the health of children. What are the dangers of general anesthesia surgery to children?

1. There is a certain risk when children undergo general anesthesia. Before the operation, the doctor will talk to the parents about some situations that the child may encounter during the operation and ask the parents to sign a consent form. Anesthetics enter the human body through the blood circulation. Like general drugs, they will be excreted with metabolism. However, during the general anesthesia process, no one can guarantee whether the child will have some complications. Some children will have symptoms of epilepsy, so it is necessary to pay attention to this time.

2. During general anesthesia, due to the different body weights of children, the impact on their physical health is different. Many operations cannot be performed under local anesthesia and need to be performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, you should still listen to the doctor's advice when necessary.

3. Many children will experience confusion, dull eyes, drowsiness and many other symptoms after undergoing general anesthesia surgery. These symptoms will be significantly improved in a short period of time. After the metabolism of the anesthetic is completed, the body will improve, so parents should not worry too much.

From the above information, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the dangers and effects of general anesthesia for children. At critical moments, as parents, do not act on your own and must listen to the doctor's advice. If any adverse reactions occur after general anesthesia, consult a professional doctor in time to avoid threatening your life. Do not seek medical treatment or take medicine at will.
