In this regard, they observed that the rate for ADHD of children without exposure to anesthesia nor at surgery was 7.3%. The rate of children exposed only once to theanesthesia Yet the surgery It was approximately the same.

However, the rate for ADHD of children with two or more exposures to the anesthesia and to a surgery it was 17.9%, even after adjusting for other factors, such as gestational age, sex, birth weight and associated morbidity diseases.
