Dr. Kadia Mary Bundu M.D.'s Expert Contributions
How is a nerve block done for hand surgery?
A nerve block for hand surgery is usually done using an ultrasound. The ultrasound helps to visualize the nerve and other structures surrounding the nerve. A local anesthetic medication is injected around the nerve with a small needle. This medication stops the nerve from transmitting pain and the hand to become numb. READ MORE
Does anxiety affect anesthesia?
Patients who are anxious often have elevated blood pressures and heart rate before anesthesia. They often need a medication to alleviate their anxiety in order to control the blood pressure and heart rate. On the other hand, patients who are already on anti anxiety medications show an abnormal response to general anesthesia. They often need more anesthesia than patients who are not taking anti anxiety medications. READ MORE
