Breastfeeding has been shown to be beneficial in the development of infants, but sometimes, the breastfeeding mother may require anesthesia. It is important for perianesthesia caregivers to understand how the breastfed infant may be affected by the anesthetic medications received by the breastfeeding mother. ⋯ The results of this literature review provide evidence that there is little risk to the breastfed infant after the mother receives surgical anesthesia. However, the type of drug, the dosage, the timing of treatment, and the infant's age and health must be taken into consideration.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe Effect of Betamethasone Gel and Lidocaine Jelly Applied Over Tracheal Tube Cuff on Postoperative Sore Throat, Cough, and Hoarseness.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of betamethasone gel and lidocaine jelly (over tracheal tube cuff) compared with distilled water on the postextubation syndrome incidence (sore throat, cough, and hoarseness). ⋯ In this study, the use of lidocaine gel and betamethasone does not reduce the incidence of sore throat or cough after intubation as much as distilled water.
