Anesthesia is one of the common methods used in surgeries to help patients alleviate painful sensations.

1. What is body anesthesia?

General anesthesia is an insymable method with the aim of causing the person to lose sensation, consciousness, reflexes for a temporary period of time using anesthesia that acts on the central nervous system.

Anesthesia affects the brain and causes the person to lose body sensation, so the patient will be neither aware of the operation nor painful sensations.

Along with the ability to paralyze the muscles of the body, body anesthesia also paralyzes the respiratory muscles, so patients with full-body anesthesia will need the help of anesthesia to help breathe to maintain the respiratory process.

2. Forms of anesthesia

Depending on how the anesthetic is introduced into the body, anesthesia is divided into 3 main forms:

Respiratory anesthesia

Anesthesies are introduced into the patient's body through the respiratory tract, usually inhaling vaporizing anesthesies. The drug thereby penetrates the bloodstream through the alveoli in the lungs.

Anesthesia through other lines

The person can also be anesthetic by injecting the drug into the corn, into a vein or through the rectum.

Combined anesthesia, also known as balanced anesthesia

  • Anesthesia the patient by combining different anesthesies and inserting into the body through one or more sugars. For example, combining intravenous intravenously initiates the drug Propofol and maintains with the respiratory anesthetic Sevoflurane.
  • Combine anesthesia with muscle relaxes and analgesic drugs.
  • Anesthesia coordinates with regional anesthesia.

3. Process of body anesthesia

First, the patient will be checked by the doctor for personal information to make sure there is no confusion about the person. After that, the doctor will give the patient painkillers, sleeping pills and muscle softener before proceeding to the inemanation tube. Anesthesia can only begin when the patient has completed the mounting of the tracking devices as well as the safety procedures that have been completed.

With that said, the process of general anesthesia paralyzes the muscles of the body including the respiratory muscles, so that the lungs are incapable of functioning on their own but require the help of a ventilator to provide respiratory replacement to the lungs.

To ensure the operation takes place safely, all patient indicators such as heart rate, number of breaths, saturated oxygen in the blood, level of anesthesia, muscle softness are closely monitored through electronic devices. In addition, the anesthesisisisi and the operating room staff also closely follow the patient's development.

After the surgery is complete, depending on the type of surgery that the person undergoes and the person's breathing, there is a different way of awakening after general anesthesia. The withdrawal of the ineocular tube after surgery should be carried out as soon as possible. However, in some major surgeries such as brain or open heart surgery, patients may have to ventilator support within 6-8 hours after surgery and take longer to wake up.

4. Some notes after body anesthesia

Patients who wake up after surgery can start with taking small sips of water, gradually drinking other water then eating liquid food and finally being able to return to their usual diet. This process depends on each person which can take several hours or days.

In the first few days after surgery, patients should take time off and may perform some mild movement to relax.

In particular, patients are advised not to operate heavy machinery such as driving a car; at least 24 hours after regaining the province should not sign any legal documents. In addition, alcohol and stimulants and sedatives are absolutely not used in the first days after surgery.

5. What are the risks of body anesthesia?

Although a full-body anesthesia helps patients reduce pain during surgery, there are still certain risks of varying degrees on different patients.

Some possible risks such as:

  • Nausea, vomiting: this is the most common condition after general anesthesia but it is easy to take precautions if the doctor is notified in advance of the patient's history before surgery.
  • Gastric choking due to vomiting during anesthesia, complications of airway spasms, pneumonia, collapse of the lungs.
  • In-in-administration pipes cannot be placed; damage to the pharynx, tooth fractures, lacerations to the pharynx mucosa
  • Awakening during surgery: the condition during general anesthesia but the patient still does not lose consciousness can feel pain during surgery.
  • Hoarseness, sore throat: due to syringe placing, however this condition is not too serious.
  • Drowsiness: this is a common condition and will often disappear when anesthesies have been exhausted from the body.
  • Confusion: common in the elderly, especially those with Alzheimer's disease.

Nausea

Patients may have nausea after anesthesia

Usually, patients after surgery must stay in the hospital to be monitored. Therefore, if there are any abnormal symptoms, the patient should immediately notify the doctor for timely intervention.
