The issue of anesthetics neurotoxicity is one of the most discussed topics in pediatric anesthesiology, thus it opens the question of the safety of commonly used anesthetics in the pediatric patient. Preclinical studies have shown that anesthetics can have a toxic effect on the maturing brain of pups and cause cognitive impairment. In human medicine, the influence of anesthetics is studied by monitoring the psychomotor development of children who have undergone surgery under general anesthesia. Some work deals with laboratory evidence of brain damage due to general anesthesia, but none of the work deals with the observation of markers of brain damage in infants. The aim of this work is to examine the dynamics of changes in the concentrations of selected markers of brain damage in craniosynostosis operations under general anesthesia in infants in order to optimize perioperative management and the correct timing of surgery.
