FAQ
What is SmartTots?
SmartTots is the IARS initiative to coordinate and fund research with the goal of increasing the safety of anesthetic and sedative drugs for the millions of children who undergo medical procedures each year. IARS works collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to leverage their collective resources in an effort to address this important issue.
How did the concerns about the safety of anesthetic drugs for infants and young children arise?
The FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), as well as investigators at several universities, conducted research to study the effects of anesthetics on the nervous systems of developing animals. This research demonstrated that exposure to some anesthetics and sedatives caused memory and learning difficulties and other harmful changes in the central nervous systems of some laboratory animals. Currently, inadequate data exist to prove or disprove whether similar effects occur in children.
