Conclusion: The stress (fear, concern and anxiety) caused by the anesthesia method used during the circumcision procedure in the child can be detected using VPT and FIS. We concluded that circumcision performed with LA [Lokalanästhesie] may cause more stress in children than with GA [Narkose] as the VPT and FIS values were significantly higher. GA should therefore be preferred in children aged 4-12 years as it will cause less stress, despite the anesthesia duration and the possible risks.
Und Kinder? Jungen unter 4 Jahren könne den Stress besser ab?
