Anesthesia-related complications in children

Anesthesia-related complications in children are rare but can include issues like breathing problems, allergic reactions, or changes in heart rate. Sometimes, children might wake up confused or experience nausea and vomiting after anesthesia. More serious risks, such as airway obstruction or visual changes, are uncommon but require careful monitoring by medical professionals. Overall, anesthesia is very safe for children, with precautions taken to minimize risks. Healthcare teams are experienced in managing any complications promptly to ensure the child's safety during and after procedures.
