Anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity in an animal model of the developing brain: mechanism and therapies
Children are being exposed to an increasingly greater variety of anesthetics with advances in pediatric and obstetric surgery. Recent animal and retrospective human data suggest that the general anesthetics commonly used in pediatric medicine could be damaging to the developing brain when used at clinical concentrations. In vivo primate and rodent models have shown that neonatal exposure to cli...
متن کاملAnesthesia and the Developing Brain: Relevance to the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Anesthetic neurotoxicity has been a hot topic in anesthesia for the past decade. It is of special interest to pediatric anesthesiologists. A subgroup of children potentially at greater risk for anesthetic neurotoxicity, based on a prolonged anesthetic exposure early in development, are those children receiving anesthesia for surgical repair of congenital heart disease. These children have a kno...

As physicians and caregivers of children with congenital heart disease, we are aware of the increasing need for procedures requiring anesthesia. While these procedures may be ideal for medical and cardiac surgical management, the risks and benefits must be assessed carefully. There are well known risks of cardiovascular and respiratory complications from anesthesia and sedation and a potentiall...
متن کاملAnesthetic Neurotoxicity in Pediatric Patients
In recent years, an increasing number of publications have shown the negative effects of anesthetics on the developing brain and have made inquiries about anesthesia for pediatric patients in practice. Anesthesia is applied to millions of children for surgery, imaging, and other invasive procedures; the issue is very serious and concerns. In this chapter, experimental and clinical studies about...
متن کاملAnesthetic neurotoxicity in the newborn and infant.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Every year, millions of children undergo anesthesia. Emerging evidence from experimental in-vitro and in-vivo models supports a role for neuropathologic injury and neurobehavioral deficits at older age after early exposure to various anesthetic regimens. Clinical studies have sought to identify a phenotype of developmental anesthesia neurotoxicity in humans, but the current ev...
