Multiple anesthetic exposures before age 3 linked to ADHD

From Nurse.com (2/2):

A study in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that children exposed to two or more anesthetics before age 3 had more than double the incidence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder than those who were not exposed. The findings were based on educational records of children born between 1976 and 1982 in Rochester, Minn.
