Anesthesia and developing brain: What have we learned from recent studies

Abstract: Anesthesia is unavoidable in surgical procedures. However, whether the general anesthetics are neurotoxic to immature brains remains undefined. Neurodevelopmental impairment induced by anesthesia has been a critical health issue and topic of concern. This review summarizes recent progress made in clinical and preclinical studies to provide useful suggestions and potential therapeutic targets for the protection of the immature brain. On the one hand, clinical researchers continue the debate about the effect of … Show more

“…Autophagy is a double-edged sword, with some studies showing that autophagy causes neurotoxicity, while others confirm its neuroprotective effects. The specific effects of autophagy need to be further investigated ( 34 ). Other mechanisms include oxidative stress and iron death ( 34 ), which are not represented in the basic research hotspot analysis map, probably due to their low number of studies at present.…”

“…The specific effects of autophagy need to be further investigated ( 34 ). Other mechanisms include oxidative stress and iron death ( 34 ), which are not represented in the basic research hotspot analysis map, probably due to their low number of studies at present. For specific signaling pathways, Jiaojiao Wang et al have reviewed the current signaling pathways for postoperative neurotoxicity in neonates due to general anesthesia, such as HIPK2/Akt/mTOR, PI3K/Akt, and JAK/STAT, with a view to providing an important reference for the treatment of clinical disease ( 35 ).…”

“…There is also more interest as of late due to some concern that certain inhaled and intravenous (i.v.) anaesthetic medications may have negative neurocognitive effects [10 ▪▪ ]. We will discuss a few regional techniques that are gaining popularity in paediatrics for postoperative pain management, including fascial plane blocks, spinal anaesthesia and continuous epidural anaesthesia.…”

“…Retrospective clinical trials have conflicting results; while some trials found anesthesia related awareness or behavioral abnormalities, the others didn't show such effect. [3,4] Even though there are conflicting results in clinical research about anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity is a big concern for pediatric anesthetists. Besides children, experimental studies also showed that anesthesia could be related with postoperative delirium and neurocognitive dysfunction.…”
