Data related to anesthesia characteristics were available for all patients; for all patients
For infants that underwent multiple anesthetics the highest ASA physical status is used. These 593 individuals underwent a total of 875 anesthetics (range 1 to 25 per person);
Data presented correspond to the cumulative total duration of anesthesia for each individual (N=593). The median duration per anesthetic (N=875) was 70 minutes (range 10 to 560).
