Abstract
Informed consent is fundamental to the ethical practice of medicine and carries important legal implications. Of particular relevance to pediatric anesthesia is the Food and Drug Administration's Drug Safety Communication (DSC), which highlights potential yet theoretical adverse effects on brain development of repeated or prolonged anesthesia administration to children younger than 3 years of age.
