Question 3 of 5
A 5-year-old underwent a tonsillectomy and an adenoidectomy under general anesthesia. The parents tell you that the anesthesiologist said that she “fought the mask and cried a lot†on induction. You are the pediatrician for this child, and 8 days after surgery, the parents call to report that the child, who previously slept well at night, now awakens nightly screaming with bad dreams. She is more irritable and cranky than before surgery and has angry outbursts. She is more “clingy†and wants her parents to cuddle her frequently. She reports that in her dreams, she can’t move, there is a tube in her throat, and she feels the surgeon cutting her throat. A review of her anesthetic record suggests an uneventful intraoperative course, with stable vital signs. All of the following statements about this situation are true EXCEPT
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The described reaction, while distressing, is not necessarily indicative of severe psychiatric illness but rather a response to traumatic anesthesia induction.
