A member asked:

Is it true the doctor told us that if the baby has flu etc. they can't inject general anesthesia cause the baby may not wake up. is that true? please i need an answer thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There's more to this: There's more to this story, because all use of anesthesia depends on the benefits vs. risks of using anesthesia. Parents need to understand their whole story (using a translator if needed). If a baby has a cold or flu, and doesn't need a procedure today, he can get the procedure when he is better. On the other hand, if a sick baby breaks a leg in a car wreck, he will get anesthesia to fix his leg.
