Why Is Anesthesia Important in Some of the Therapeutic Methods?

One of the most important therapeutic services that MAHAK provides for children, is the strategic use of anesthesia whenever it is required. Basically, a number of treatment methods require anesthesia, while some of them gets done better through utilizing anesthesia procedure. For this reason, MAHAK has provided the option of administering anesthesia based on the physician’s recommendation and parents’ consent.

In pediatric oncology, the anesthesia procedure is performed due to three primary factors:

—Certain treatment methods inherently evoke fear and anxiety in pediatric patients, making anesthesia a valuable tool in alleviating kids’ distresses and facilitating smoother execution of procedures. including: MAHAK is the only pediatric medical centre in Iran which provides the service of anesthesia during intrathecal therapy (IT), bone marrow aspiration (BMA), radiotherapy, and dental interventions

—Another reason for the anesthesia procedure to be essential in pediatric oncology is the treatment methods’ severe pain. For instance, bone marrow aspiration (BMA) is a painful procedure so it requires anesthesia to mitigate the kids’ pain.

—Lastly, some treatment methods necessitates absolute fixity like radiotherapy during which the patient must be completely motionless. But children’s inherent mobility pose a hindrance to approach a precise radiation administration that highlights the importance of anesthesia towards optimal therapeutic outcomes.
