@dilaudiddaddy: Until the late 1980s, babies routinely had surgery paralyzed, with little or no anesthesia. The thinking: newborns were too neurologically immature to feel pain, and too fragile for anesthetics. So they got a muscle relaxant, maybe some nitrous, and that was it. They couldn't move or cry, but they felt it. In 1985, a premature baby named Jeffrey Lawson had open heart surgery on pancuronium alone. His mother found out afterward and went public. In 1987, Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand showed that babies given fentanyl had a smaller stress response and fewer complications. Paralysis is not anesthesia. It took us far too long to act like it. #anesthesia #History #nurse #healthcare #surgery

In 2005, my NICU baby was given sugar water for pain relief bc they said she doesn’t feel pain.

That’s absolutely horrifying! And babies being surgically aborted feel everything too.

My god did my mom have her club feet fixed without any medication? She had clubbed feet in the late 60s early 70s?

Why would they think that? They scream when they poke their heel. I think they did it in purpose.

Remember this when anyone tells you that an animal doesn’t feel pain. Our track record as humans for determining what feels pain is poor.

The shocking revelation we have now is the one we’ll have later for denying/withholding and force tapering pain patents off of opioids instead of figuring out who is susceptible to addiction and monitoring them closely.

unfortunately we still see babies intubated with paralytics only or with something short acting like etomidate with no follow up sedation or analgesic after. it's sad to see

When my son was born in 2003, I asked what the procedure was for having him circumcised...they said no anesthetic was used! I told them I would NOT be having the procedure done on him.

Would that cause trauma to the nervous system of the infants? Would those operated on before 1985 be more likely to develop anxiety disorders or other problems later in life? How horrific [Broken heart]
