Surgical procedures are always painless despite the number of hours they take. This is due to the various types of anesthesia used in the hospitals. They are drugs injected into the whole body, or that specific part undergoing the process. This makes it numb so that you do not have a sense of feeling as the procedure is undertaken.
When injected into the body either on human and animals, it stops or blocks sensations in that particular, small area or the entire body. There are some drugs that put a patient to sleep during the process, and they will remember and feel nothing. When a doctor chooses what to use, they base their assumption on the area and the time taken for the whole surgery to be completed. Your health history is also observed.
One of these drugs used include local anesthetic. This drug is administered patients in a small region of your body where surgical procedure is performed. For example, during the extraction of a painful tooth, it will be injected in the gums only to stop or kill the pain. The unique thing about these anesthetic options is that they are used for outpatients needs, and they wear after a very short time. People injected with this are always awake. However, some patients are given sedative if need arises.
When the surgery is taking long, the general anesthetic chemicals are used to help the patient sleep heavily. And while asleep, you cannot feel any sensation or know what is happening to you. It stops a person memory from working. Mostly it is administered as IV, whereby patients inhale them as gases. They are also applied for surgeries that need one to be in an uncomfortable state.
Like any other drug, the general anesthetic has its side effects to your health. However, they are manageable. The complications will depend on the person lifestyle: for example, if they smoke or take alcohol. Also it is determined by ones body condition, and the type of medications they frequently use and blood thinning chemicals in their body. Other rare complications that have been observed include lung cancer, heart failures and stroke but it is uncommon for people to die after being administered with it.
There is also regional drugs. As the name suggests, these drugs are applied in larger areas, normally where local anesthetics will not work very well. These drugs are subdivided into other categories. They are good to be applied in areas around limbs and the face and where nerves are prevalent.
For those scheduled for C-section and abdomen operations, the spinal block is utilized in the injection process. They have a disadvantage of causing headaches and spinal aches. For those patients who have been injected on the face, they experience respiration difficulties.
The doctor should recommend the types of anesthesia which they know will work well and have little side effects on the patient. It is important to understand that the body reacts to them differently. Others will experience it in ways like feeling fatigue and others will lose their memory shortly.
