- Summary: Several studies have investigated the effects of general anaesthesia on neurodevelopment in children, with conflicting results. The potential for early general anaesthesia exposure to impact neurodevelopment in children may cause significant concern for parents. Administering a questionnaire in 200 parents, we aimed to explore their knowledge, concerns and perceptions, and determine factors which influence parents' willingness for their children to participate in relevant research studies. A significant proportion of parents (40%) were concerned that general anaesthesia may affect their child's neurodevelopment. Generally these concerns arose from the parents' own beliefs or preconceived ideas and only 25.5% had encountered prior information in this domain. Parents with children aged 2 years or younger, those whose children had previous general anaesthesia exposure, and those who had encountered information about potential neurodevelopmental effects were most likely to be concerned. The majority of parents (68%) would agree to participate in research studies, especially if they were able to receive the test results. Anaesthetists should pre‐emptively initiate discussions to address any potential misconceptions regarding the effects of general anaesthesia on neurodevelopment in children. 개요: 전신마취가 소아 뇌신경 발달에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조 사한 연구들은 서로 상반된 연구 결과를 보이고 있다. 소아에 서 어린 나이에 전신마취에 노출되는 것이 뇌신경 발달에 좋 지 않은 영향을 줄 수 있는 가능성은 부모들에게 큰 걱정거리 가 될 수 있다. 연구자들은 200명의 부모에게 설문을 하여 마 취제의 뇌독성에Summary: Several studies have investigated the effects of general anaesthesia on neurodevelopment in children, with conflicting results.
