Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi, I wanted to respond because Chrystine (19 months) has been anesthetized over 5 times since the last wk. of April. Since then, she has been fiercely aggressive and also seems to have night terrors. I am anxious to see the answers and replies to this subject as well. chrystal ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 This might be a place to ask your question: http://www.gasbag.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=3c4c92258ec9cadf41498b3a4f1b603d&board\ =6.0 it's a forum of anesthesiologists... It was on my google ticker when I was reading your message. It certainly sounds like there's a correlation between the anesthetic and the increase in agressive behaviours, but it's hard to say if it's the sole cause of the increase in agression... Kennedy usually just gets extremely ticked when we hit the OR door (I even got a punch in the face once - NOT like her!)... www.chargesyndrome.info > > Hi, I wanted to respond because Chrystine (19 months) has been > anesthetized > over 5 times since the last wk. of April.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 i believe the behavior thing - after anesthetic i'm either mean as fire or i cry like a child at everything... but the seizure scares me - i'd call the hospital about that one - or her doctor... or someone in a posistion to actually diagnose something - i can't imagine how bad that must have scared you Cole > > Hi Everyone, > > My daughter, Charlotte 3 1/2, had a few procedures under general > anesthesia > yesterday, PE tubes, bronchoscopy, ABR and an MRI of her lungs.
