Abstract

Background: Multiple invasive procedures are routinely performed in diagnosis and treatment of hematologic/oncologic diseases. Because these procedures are painful, they may cause stress and anxiety in patients and their parents. Especially in patients with malignancies, the repeating procedures can lead to psychiatric disorders like depression and post-traumatic stress disorders. Therefore, general anesthesia is recommended during these invasive procedures for pain control.
