Follow these instructions to help your child get ready for an operation, test or treatment.</p><h2>What is general anaesthesia?</h2> <p>General anaesthesia (say: an-iss-THEES-ee-a) is a mix of medicines that helps your child fall into a deep sleep. This means your child will not feel pain or remember the operation. General anaesthesia may be used when your child has an operation, test or treatment.</p> <p>This information will help you and your child prepare for general anaesthesia. Please read this information carefully and explain it to your child, using words they can understand. Knowing what to expect will help your child feel less nervous. You can also contact the pre-anaesthesia clinic to help you and your child prepare.</p><h2>Key points</h2> <ul> <li>Your child's stomach must be empty during and after general anaesthesia. If your child's stomach is not empty, your child could vomit and damage their lungs. If you do not follow these instructions, your child's operation, test or treatment will be delayed or cancelled. </li> <li>Starting at <strong>midnight</strong> before your child's operation, test or treatment, your child must not eat or drink any solid food, gum, candy, milk or orange juice. Your child must only have clear liquids such as water, ginger ale or clear apple juice until three hours before the anaesthesia.</li> <li><strong>Three hours</strong> before the operation, test or treatment, stop giving your child anything to drink.</li> <li>There is a small chance your child may have serious side effects from the general anaesthesia. The anaesthesiologist will watch your child carefully to deal with these problems if they happen.</li> </ul><h2>If you have any questions</h2> <p>On the day of your child's operation, test or treatment, the anaesthesiologist will meet with you to talk about any questions and concerns you may have. If you have questions before then, call the anaesthesia department.</p> <p>The team will work with you to make this the best possible experience for you and your child. Please call if you have any questions or concerns.</p> <h2>How general anaesthesia is given</h2> <p>Your child is given general anaesthesia either through a face mask or through a small tube in a vein called an intravenous line (IV).</p> <p>If your child is very nervous, they may be given some medicine before the general anaesthesia. This will help calm your child so they can be less anxious about getting the general anaesthesia.</p> <h3>Who gives the general anaesthesia</h3> <p>The doctor who will give your child the general anaesthesia is called an anesthesiologist. An anesthesiologist is a doctor who helps with surgery and other painful or anxiety-provoking procedures by giving sedatives, painkillers and anaesthetic drugs so that your child will sleep and will not be aware of anything during the procedure.</p> <p>The anesthesiologist will care for your child and help your child cope with the effects of the general anaesthesia. During your child's operation, test or treatment, the anaesthesiologist will be checking your child's breathing, heartbeat, temperature and blood pressure. After the procedure, the anesthesiologist makes sure your child is comfortable and recovering well.</p><h2>Your child may have side effects from the general anaesthesia</h2> <p>After general anaesthesia, your child may have minor side effects (problems), including:</p> <ul> <li>fatigue (tiredness)</li> <li>dizziness</li> <li>irritability</li> <li>sore throat</li> <li>cough</li> <li>nausea (feeling sick to the stomach)</li> <li>vomiting (throwing up); if this happens, your child will get medicine to help them feel better</li> </ul> <h3>Serious side effects are rare</h3> <p>There is a very small chance that there will be a serious problem during or after your child's general anaesthesia. These problems are rare but may include:</p> <ul> <li>an allergic reaction to a drug</li> <li>brain injury</li> <li>cardiac arrest, which means the heart stops beating; this can cause death</li> </ul> <p>The anaesthesiologist will watch your child very closely during the operation, test or treatment. They are trained to deal with these problems if they happen.</p> <p>If your child has a serious problem, they may need to stay in the hospital for a longer time.</p> <h2>After the operation, test or treatment</h2> <p>Your child will go to the Post-Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) or recovery room. Specially trained nurses will regularly check your child's breathing, heartbeat, temperature and blood pressure. Your child will wake up soon after the operation, test or treatment. You can be with your child as soon as they wake up.</p> <h2>If your child has pain</h2> <p>Before your child wakes up from the general anaesthesia, they will get medicine for pain.</p> <p>Managing your child's pain is important to help your child get better after the operation, test or treatment. If you think your child is in pain, talk to your child's nurse or doctor so that they can help.</p><h2>What to feed your child before general anaesthesia</h2><p>Your child's stomach must be empty before general anaesthesia. If your child has even a small amount of food or drink in the stomach, your child could vomit (throw up) during the anaesthesia and damage his or her lungs. An empty stomach lowers the chance that your child will vomit.</p><p>Follow these instructions to make sure your child's stomach is empty. If you do not follow these instructions, your child's operation, test or treatment will be delayed or cancelled.</p><ul><li>At <strong>midnight</strong> before the anaesthesia, your child must stop eating solid food, gum, candy, milk or orange juice. Your child can still drink clear liquids up until three hours before the anaesthesia. Clear liquids means liquids you can see through like a window. Clear liquids include water, ginger ale and clear apple juice.</li><li> <strong>Three hours</strong> before the anaesthesia, your child must stop drinking clear liquids. Your child should not take anything by mouth until after they wake up.</li><li>If your child needs to take prescription medicine, talk to your child's doctor before giving the medicine.</li></ul><p>Your child is having general anaesthesia at this time: ________________________</p><p>Your child must stop drinking clear liquids at this time: ___________________</p><h3>For babies</h3><p>If your baby is breastfeeding, stop breastfeeding your baby four hours before the anaesthesia, at this time: ___________</p><p>If your baby drinks formula, stop giving formula six hours before the anaesthesia, at this time: _____________</p><h3>Summary: Eating and drinking before general anaesthesia</h3><table class="akh-table"><thead><tr><th>Time</th><th>What your child can eat and drink</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Midnight before the anaesthesia</td><td><p>Stop giving your child solid food, including gum, candy and orange juice.

You may be asked to bring your child to the Pre-Anaesthesia Assessment Clinic. At this clinic, you and your child will talk with a nurse or an anaesthesiologist about the general anaesthesia. To reduce the risk of the procedure, the anesthesiologist needs to know about any medical conditions or problems your child has. You and your child will also talk with a nurse in the clinic about the care your child will need in the hospital before and after the operation.</p><p>Please bring a list of your child's medicines to the clinic.</p><h3>Your child may need tests before general anaesthesia</h3><p>The anaesthesiologist or your child's physician may decide that your child needs to have some lab tests before the general anaesthesia. This will depend on your child's medical history and why your child is having the general anaesthesia.</p><p>All girls aged 12 and over will have a urine test before receiving general anaesthesia.</p><h2>If your child is sick before the operation, test or treatment</h2><p>Your child needs to be as healthy as possible before having a general anaesthesia.</p><p>If your child is sick at any time in the week before the operation, test or treatment, call your child's doctor at the hospital right away. Call if your child has any of the following:</p><ul><li>wheezing</li><li> <a href="/Article?contentid=774&language=English">cough</a></li><li> <a href="/Article?contentid=30&language=English">fever</a></li><li>runny nose</li><li>vomiting</li><li>generally feeling unwell</li></ul><h2>At SickKids</h2><p>If you have questions or concerns before your child's anaesthesia, call the Pre-Anaesthesia Clinic at 416-813-7654, ext. 3058.

Suivez ces directives pour aider votre enfant à se préparer pour une opération, un test ou un traitement. </p><h2>Qu’est-ce que l’anesthésie générale?</h2> <p>L’anesthésie générale est un mélange de médicaments qui fait tomber votre enfant dans un sommeil profond, c’est-à-dire qu’il ne sentira pas de douleur et ne se souviendra pas de l’opération. L’anesthésie générale se fait quand votre enfant doit subir une opération, un examen ou un traitement. </p> <p>Les renseignements qui suivent vous aideront ainsi que votre enfant à vous préparer pour l’anesthésie générale. Veuillez lire le document attentivement et l’expliquer à votre enfant, en vous servant de mots qu’il peut comprendre. Les enfants qui savent à quoi s’attendre sont moins anxieux. Vous pouvez aussi communiquer avec la clinique de soins pré-anesthésie pour vous aider ainsi que votre enfant à vous préparer.</p><h2>À retenir</h2> <ul> <li>L’estomac de votre enfant doit être vide avant l’anesthésie générale. Si votre enfant a même une infime quantité de nourriture ou de liquide dans l’estomac, il pourrait vomir pendant l’anesthésie et endommager ses poumons. Si vous ne suivez pas cette consigne, l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement de votre enfant pourrait être reporté ou annulé. </li> <li>À <strong>minuit</strong> avant l’anesthésie, votre enfant doit cesser de manger des aliments solides, de la gomme à mâcher, des bonbons, du lait, du jus d’orange ou du Jello. Votre enfant peut encore boire des liquides clairs jusqu’à trois heures avant l’anesthésie. </li> <li><strong>Trois heures</strong> avant l’anesthésie, votre enfant doit cesser de boire des liquides clairs. </li> <li>Il y a un petit risque que votre enfant subisse des effets secondaires graves de l’anesthésie générale. L’anesthésiste surveillera votre enfant attentivement pour gérer ces problèmes s’ils se produisaient. </li></ul><h2>Si vous avez des questions</h2> <p>Le jour de l’opération, de l'examen ou du traitement de votre enfant, l’anesthésiste vous rencontrera pour traiter de toute question ou préoccupation que vous pourriez avoir. Si vous avez des questions avant, appelez le département d’anesthésie. </p> <p>L’équipe collaborera avec vous pour que l’expérience soit la meilleure possible pour vous et votre enfant. N’hésitez pas à appeler si vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations.</p><h2>Votre enfant pourrait avoir des effets secondaires de l’anesthésie générale </h2> <p>Après l’anesthésie générale, votre enfant pourrait avoir des effets secondaires (problèmes) mineurs , comme : </p> <ul> <li>de la fatigue; </li> <li>des étourdissements;</li> <li>une irritabilité;</li> <li>des maux de gorge; </li> <li>de la toux;</li> <li>des nausées (mal d’estomac);</li> <li>des vomissements; si cela se produit, votre enfant recevra des médicaments qui le soulageront.</li></ul> <h3>Les effets secondaires graves sont rares</h3> <p>Il y a d’infimes risques qu’un grave problème se présente pendant ou après l’anesthésie générale. Voici quelques rares problèmes : </p> <ul> <li>réaction allergique;</li> <li>lésions au cerveau;</li> <li>arrêt cardiaque, ce qui veut dire que le cœur cesse de battre. Cela peut causer un décès.</li></ul> <p>L’anesthésiste observera attentivement votre enfant pendant l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement. Il ou elle est formé(e) pour gérer ces problèmes s’ils surviennent. </p> <p>Si votre enfant a un grave problème, il pourrait devoir demeurer à l’hôpital pendant plus longtemps.</p> <h2>Après l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement</h2> <p>Votre enfant se rendra à l’unité des soins post-opératoires, ou à la salle de réveil. Des infirmières formées à cet effet vérifieront régulièrement la respiration, le rythme cardiaque, la température et la tension artérielle de votre enfant. Il se réveillera peu après l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement. Vous pourrez être avec lui quand il se réveillera. </p> <h2>Si votre enfant a mal</h2> <p>Avant que votre enfant ne se réveille de l’anesthésie générale, il recevra des médicaments contre la douleur. </p> <p>La gestion de la douleur de votre enfant est une partie importante de la convalescence après l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement. Si vous pensez que votre enfant a mal, parlez-en à son infirmière ou son médecin, qui pourra l’aider. </p><h2>Quoi donner à manger à votre enfant avant l’opération</h2> <p>L’estomac de votre enfant doit être vide avant l’anesthésie générale. Si votre enfant a même une infime quantité de nourriture ou de liquide dans l’estomac, il pourrait vomir pendant l’anesthésie et endommager ses poumons. Un estomac vide réduit le risque que l’enfant vomisse.</p> <p>Suivez ces directives pour vous assurez que l’estomac de votre enfant soit vide, à défaut de quoi l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement sera reporté ou annulé. </p> <ul> <li>À <strong>minuit</strong> avant l’anesthésie, votre enfant doit cesser de manger des aliments solides, de la gomme à mâcher, des bonbons, du lait, du jus d’orange ou du Jello.

On pourrait vous demander de vous rendre avec votre enfant à la clinique d’évaluation pré-anesthésie. À cette clinique, votre enfant et vous parlerez à une infirmière ou un anesthésiste au sujet de l’anesthésie générale. Pour réduire le risque de l’intervention, l’anesthésiste doit connaître toute pathologie ou tout problème que votre enfant présente. Votre enfant et vous parlerez aussi à une infirmière de la clinique des soins dont votre enfant aura besoin à l’hôpital avant et après l’opération. </p> <p>Apportez aussi la liste des médicaments de votre enfant à la clinique. </p> <h3>Votre enfant pourrait devoir subir des tests avant l’anesthésie générale</h3> <p>L’anesthésiste ou le médecin de votre enfant pourraient décider que votre enfant a besoin de tests de laboratoire avant l’anesthésie générale. Cela dépendra des antécédents de votre enfant et de la raison pour laquelle il subira une anesthésie générale. </p> <h2>Votre enfant est malade avant l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement </h2> <p>Votre enfant doit être en meilleure santé possible avant l’anesthésie générale. </p> <p>Si votre enfant est malade à n'importe quel moment la semaine avant l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement, appelez le médecin de votre enfant à l’hôpital immédiatement. Appelez-le si votre enfant présente l’un des troubles suivants :</p> <ul> <li>respiration sifflante; </li> <li>toux; </li> <li>fièvre; </li> <li>écoulements nasaux;</li> <li>vomissements;</li> <li>malaise général.</li></ul> <h2>Comment est administrée l’anesthésie générale</h2> <p>On administre l’anesthésie par un masque ou un petit tube inséré dans la veine appelé cathéter intraveineux (IV). </p> <p>Si votre enfant est très nerveux, on pourrait lui donner des médicaments avant l’anesthésie générale. Cela l’aidera à se calmer afin qu’il soit moins anxieux à l’idée de recevoir l’anesthésie générale. </p> <h3>Qui administre l’anesthésie générale</h3> <p>Le médecin qui administrera l’anesthésie générale à votre enfant s’appelle un anesthésiste. C’est un médecin qui assiste pendant les opérations et d’autres interventions douloureuses ou anxiogènes en donnant des sédatifs, des médicaments contre la douleur et des anesthésiques pour que l’enfant dorme et qu’il ne sente ni ne voit quoi que ce soit pendant l’intervention. </p> <p>L’anesthésiste prendra soin de votre enfant et l’aidera à gérer les effets de l’anesthésie générale. Pendant l’opération, l'examen ou le traitement, l’anesthésiste vérifiera la respiration, le rythme cardiaque, la température et la tension artérielle de votre enfant. Après l’intervention, l’anesthésiste s’assurera que votre enfant est à l'aise et qu’il récupère bien. </p><h2>At SickKids</h2><p>If you have questions or concerns before your child's anaesthesia, call the Pre-Anaesthesia Clinic at 416-813-7654, ext. 3058.

They are trained to deal with these problems if they happen.</p> <p>If your child has a serious problem, they may need to stay in the hospital for a longer time.</p> <h2>After the operation, test or treatment</h2> <p>Your child will go to the Post-Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) or recovery room. Specially trained nurses will regularly check your child's breathing, heartbeat, temperature and blood pressure. Your child will wake up soon after the operation, test or treatment. You can be with your child as soon as they wake up.</p> <h2>If your child has pain</h2> <p>Before your child wakes up from the general anaesthesia, they will get medicine for pain.</p> <p>Managing your child's pain is important to help your child get better after the operation, test or treatment. If you think your child is in pain, talk to your child's nurse or doctor so that they can help.</p><h2>What to feed your child before general anaesthesia</h2><p>Your child's stomach must be empty before general anaesthesia. If your child has even a small amount of food or drink in the stomach, your child could vomit (throw up) during the anaesthesia and damage his or her lungs. An empty stomach lowers the chance that your child will vomit.</p><p>Follow these instructions to make sure your child's stomach is empty. If you do not follow these instructions, your child's operation, test or treatment will be delayed or cancelled.</p><ul><li>At <strong>midnight</strong> before the anaesthesia, your child must stop eating solid food, gum, candy, milk or orange juice. Your child can still drink clear liquids up until three hours before the anaesthesia. Clear liquids means liquids you can see through like a window. Clear liquids include water, ginger ale and clear apple juice.</li><li> <strong>Three hours</strong> before the anaesthesia, your child must stop drinking clear liquids. Your child should not take anything by mouth until after they wake up.</li><li>If your child needs to take prescription medicine, talk to your child's doctor before giving the medicine.</li></ul><p>Your child is having general anaesthesia at this time: ________________________</p><p>Your child must stop drinking clear liquids at this time: ___________________</p><h3>For babies</h3><p>If your baby is breastfeeding, stop breastfeeding your baby four hours before the anaesthesia, at this time: ___________</p><p>If your baby drinks formula, stop giving formula six hours before the anaesthesia, at this time: _____________</p><h3>Summary: Eating and drinking before general anaesthesia</h3><table class="akh-table"><thead><tr><th>Time</th><th>What your child can eat and drink</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Midnight before the anaesthesia</td><td><p>Stop giving your child solid food, including gum, candy and orange juice.

You may be asked to bring your child to the Pre-Anaesthesia Assessment Clinic. At this clinic, you and your child will talk with a nurse or an anaesthesiologist about the general anaesthesia. To reduce the risk of the procedure, the anesthesiologist needs to know about any medical conditions or problems your child has. You and your child will also talk with a nurse in the clinic about the care your child will need in the hospital before and after the operation.</p><p>Please bring a list of your child's medicines to the clinic.</p><h3>Your child may need tests before general anaesthesia</h3><p>The anaesthesiologist or your child's physician may decide that your child needs to have some lab tests before the general anaesthesia. This will depend on your child's medical history and why your child is having the general anaesthesia.</p><p>All girls aged 12 and over will have a urine test before receiving general anaesthesia.</p><h2>If your child is sick before the operation, test or treatment</h2><p>Your child needs to be as healthy as possible before having a general anaesthesia.</p><p>If your child is sick at any time in the week before the operation, test or treatment, call your child's doctor at the hospital right away. Call if your child has any of the following:</p><ul><li>wheezing</li><li> <a href="/Article?contentid=774&language=English">cough</a></li><li> <a href="/Article?contentid=30&language=English">fever</a></li><li>runny nose</li><li>vomiting</li><li>generally feeling unwell</li></ul><h2>At SickKids</h2><p>If you have questions or concerns before your child's anaesthesia, call the Pre-Anaesthesia Clinic at 416-813-7654, ext. 3058.
