infant anesthesia

Infant anesthesia involves carefully administering medications to ensure a baby remains unconscious, pain-free, and stable during surgery or medical procedures. Since infants are more vulnerable than adults, anesthesiologists use specialized techniques and dosing to address their unique needs, including close monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels. The goal is to keep the infant safe, comfortable, and to minimize any risks or side effects. After the procedure, anesthesia is carefully stopped, and the infant is closely observed as they wake up and recover.
