Very interested in the papers and the discussion happening with general anesthesia being used on young kids.
Relatedly: had ~15 surgeries before the age of seven back in the 90's when there was zero notion of these nuances, and there's not a small part of me that wants to slide in a mention of "Hey, a lot of this could be second-order effects of medical/ICU CPTSD". Typically the kiddos coming in for multiple surgeries already have a few major medical issues - and so bouncing back from "multiple" operations paints a lot different picture than just one clean-and-done one.
