Anesthesia, Resuscitation, and ICU: Q&A
in Health ·
I'm wondering if there’s a recommended spray for newborns that works as a local anesthetic—something that basically just "numbs" the tissue without any nasty side effects (specifically for minor laser procedures on sensitive areas when treating hemangiomas)?
Is it actually necessary to put a newborn under general anesthesia for laser hemangioma treatment, or is that just some hospital "rule" they follow because it's easier to keep a baby completely still?
Thanks 🙂
