Today, I anesthetized a 4-month old baby for repair of a unilateral inguinal hernia. The kid was ADORABLE. He was laughing and smiling at just about everyone. He was even cannulated while his mother held him before entering the O/R with nothing but a tiny whimper which lasted for a fraction of a second. That's an impressive feat for an age where cannulation usually equals screams of bloody murder and a lot of kicking and scratching.
So we hooked him up to the monitor, while trying to keep him from sticking just about every cable that came near him into his mouth. A couple of ccs from the big needle and he actually went to sleep with a smile on his face.
Then he proceeded to pee over everything.
