• Kids Suffer Needlessly After Tonsils Removed

    Posted on September 8th, 2009 UCI Anesthesia No comments
    Children who have their tonsils or adenoids removed experience significant pain after surgery but their parents often don’t do enough to alleviate the suffering, says a new study by UC Irvine and Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). The conclusion is based on a study of 261 children, aged 2 to 12, that was done in Connecticut before co-author Zeev Kain moved to UCI to become head of the department of anesthesiology. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, also was co-written by researcher Michelle Fortier, who has appointments at UCI and CHOC.
