Abstract

Experimental studies performed on immature animal brains had demonstrated a neurotoxic effect following sedation and general anaesthetics administration. The same magnitude of neurotoxicity has been suggested but not been proven to neonates, infants and small children who have undergone anaesthesia. There is a justified and increasing inquiry regarding the administration of general anaesthesia to paediatric patients.Rezultatele studiilor experimentale efectuate pe creierele imature ale unor animale au arătat un efect neurotoxic secundar sedării şi administrării de anestezie generală. Un grad similar de neurotoxicitate a fost sugerat dar nu a fost demonstrat în cazul nou-născuţilor, sugarilor şi copiilor mici care au primit anestezie. Există în prezent o îngrijorare crescândă şi justificată privind administrarea anesteziei generale la pacienţii pediatrici.
