Anesthesia helps children lose consciousness and feel pain during screening or surgical procedures. Accordingly, the side effects of anesthesia on children are a problem that worries many parents.

Anesthesia for children is an important step before officially entering surgery. When children are anesthetized, they will lose the feeling of pain, reflexes, and consciousness. This makes many parents worried because they do not know how anesthesia affects children's health?

Anesthetics can affect a child’s nervous system, which can lead to learning disabilities and behavioral problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, research is still lacking, so there are no definitive conclusions about the effects of anesthetics on a child’s brain.
