Health, since you are in the medical field, and I don’t mean any disrespect to you, YOU should know that the scariest and most serious part of many surgeries on children IS in fact the anesthesia. Putting children under general anesthesia can be a very dangerous situation. A procedure such as endoscopy or colonoscopy does not use heavy duty anesthesia and therefore the risk factors are heavily reduced. However, we avoid putting any child “to sleep” as much as possible because the outcome CAN turn sour.
