Is pediatric anesthesia safe?
Pediatric anaesthetists are skilled in administering anesthesia to children, ensuring safety and managing their specific needs. They are well-versed in the latest methods and safety standards, and use modern monitoring systems and comprehensive preoperative assessments to enhance safety.
What drugs are used in Paediatric Anaesthesia?
Pediatric anaesthesia involves inhaled agents like sevoflurane and nitrous oxide to induce and maintain anaesthesia. Intravenous agents like propofol, ketamine, and midazolam are used for induction and maintenance and pain control. Analgesics like fentanyl and morphine are used for pain during and after surgical procedures. Local anaesthetics like lidocaine and bupivacaine provide regional pain relief.
How does pediatric anaesthesia work?
Anaesthesia for children involves administering anaesthetic substances to cause a temporary loss of sensation, allowing them to undergo surgical procedures without discomfort. Preoperative preparation includes health evaluation and anaesthesia technique design. Continuous anaesthetic medication is administered during the procedure to maintain sedation and prevent pain. In emergencies, anaesthetic agents should be gradually decreased.
What are the side effects of anaesthesia?
Pediatric anesthesia is generally safe, but it may cause nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, throat pain, and minor respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing, especially in children with a history of respiratory diseases.
