Parental Perspectives on General Anesthesia Exposure in Young Children.

Parental Perspectives on General Anesthesia Exposure in Young Children. Paediatr Anaesth. 2020 Apr 25;: Authors: Chan YY, Rosoklija I, Meade P, Cheon EC, Benzon HA, Chu DI Abstract General Anesthesia (GA) exposure and the potential concern for neurotoxicity in children remains controversial. In 2017, European anesthesia societies emphasized the importance of counseling parents to balance the benefits of elective interventions requiring GA with potential risks of GA exposure. Studies on parental perspectives on the topic in the United States (U.S.) are lacking. We aimed to better understand parental concerns of GA exposure in young children in the U.S. PMID: 32333710 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
