Key result
In a retrospective study of 140 children undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia, the majority showed an absence of pallor, jaundice, and cyanosis.
Why the study?
General anaesthesia carries potential risk factors such as blood pressure and heart rate fluctuations, palor, jaundice, cyanosis, and cardiopulmonary problems, warranting evaluation of factors examined in children undergoing dental rehabilitation.

The majority of children undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia in this cohort were aged 0-5 years and lacked significant pre-anesthetic risk factors like pallor, jaundice, or cyanosis.
Introduction: General anaesthesia is the reversible state of unconsciousness that results in coma with loss of protective reflexes. GA in dentistry is the most cost effective and practiced mode of treatment. A definite group of patients who are not cooperative to the normal treatment will be treated only by giving general anesthesia. The potential risk factors for the usage of GA are emergency surgery, anaesthesiologist error, fluctuations in Blood pressure and Heart rate, Palor, Jaundice, Cyanosis and cardiovascular and pulmonary problems. Aim: The aim was to examine factors evaluated among children undergoing general anaesthesia for dental rehabilitation. Materials and methods: The study was implemented in a private dental institution, Chennai, India. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional review board prior to the start of the study. Total 140 children treated under GA were included in the study. Data was collected with following parameters like age, Gender, pallor, Jaundice, cyanosis, Blood pressure, Respiratory system examination, Cardiovascular system examination. The collected data was divided into 3 groups 0-5, 6-10 and 11-15 years and was analysed using SPSS statistical software. Data analysis done using chi square test and pearson correlation was done. p value < 0.005 was considered statistically significant. Results and Discussion: In a total of 140 patients, different factors such as pallor. jaundice were taken in consideration and the analysis was done with comparison of ages. It is seen that most of the children who are accepted for the procedure are children in the age group of 0-5 years, followed by 6-10 years and the least percentage of acceptance is 11-15 years. Conclusion: Within the limits of the study, some factors have been examined by the dental practitioner before General Anesthesia. Majority of the children show the absence of the pallor, jaundice and cyanosis.

Ananya et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Dental treatment under general anaesthesia (n=140). Dental treatment under general anaesthesia was evaluated on Pre-anesthetic evaluation factors (pallor, jaundice, cyanosis, blood pressure, respiratory and cardiovascular system examination). In a retrospective study of 140 children undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia, the majority showed an absence of pallor, jaundice, and cyanosis.
