Abstract
- Various complications may arise during and after the general anesthesia. The anesthetic agents and techniques of anesthetic administration employed have the power to impair or abolish a variety of essential functions of body, in addition to bearing potentially serious risks to the major organ systems. Four pediatric patients, who were 2, 3, 6 and 8 years old in 1993, had received repeated general anesthesia 8, 19, 31 and 25 times respectively for laryngeal microsurgery since their infaneies. The mean intervals between anesthesia were 45, 103, 37 and 91 days and the mean durations of anesthetia were 79, 86, 73 and 78 minuites respectively. Enflurane was used most frequently without any remarkable complication except one episode of pneumonia. The hepatic enzymes increased transiently in two patiens but none was eonfirmed as hepatitis.
