Early childhood exposure to short periods of sevoflurane is not associated with later, lasting cognitive deficits.
A detrimental effect of commonly used anesthetics on the neurodevelopmental and behavioral parameters has long been shown in young animals subjected to early childhood anesthesia. Epidemiologic studies suggest the possibility of a modestly elevated risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children exposed to anesthesia during early childhood. However, these results are still preliminary and inconclusive. ⋯ It can be concluded that brief periods of anesthesia with single anesthetic sevoflurane may be safe for children under age 3.
