What are the effects of general anesthesia on a four-month-old newborn?

Patient's question:

What are the effects of general anesthesia on a newborn four months old?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during the surgery, the anesthesiologist needs to continuously administer anesthetic drugs to the patient according to the surgical requirements. When the surgery is completed, the anesthetic drugs are discontinued. The effect of general anesthesia is to block the transmission of pain to the brain and temporarily inhibit the patient's consciousness. During the surgery, the anesthesia machine can display various vital signs and closely monitor the blood supply to important organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys, detecting any slight differences and correcting them promptly.
