What type of sedation is used for foot surgery?
The type of anesthesia used for foot surgery depends on exactly the site and depth of the planned surgery, as well as the length of the case and the possible use of a tourniquet. Of course the patient’s condition and feelings are paramount. Many foot surgeries are accomplished with local anesthesia with sedation. READ MORE
How long does it take for anesthesia to put you to sleep?
Patients can be put to sleep rapidly, over about 10 seconds, or more slowly over a couple of minutes if circumstances warrant. Emergencies, the health of the patient, and whatever is necessary to provide good operating conditions for the surgeon will all play a part in the anesthesiologist’s pace. Be sure to let your anesthesiologist know your desires and fears! READ MORE
Is general anesthesia during a C-section safe?
General anesthesia for an elective C-section (non-emergent) is safe in the hands of a qualified anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist will examine you with extra attention to your airway before inducing anesthesia. You will not be able to drink or eat for up to 8 hours before surgery. You may be given oral or intravenous drugs before anesthesia to buffer the acidity in your stomach. Your significant other will probably be allowed to sit at your side. Wishing you a wonderful birthing experience! READ MORE
What is "twilight" anesthesia used for?
Twilight anesthesia refers to a state during which a patient is not fully anesthetized and may move in response to pain, but will have no memory of pain. It is used for minor surgeries such as biopsies, hernia repairs, hammer toe and bunion repair, and GI endoscopy. Supplemental oxygen may be used, but not anesthetic gases. The airway is not protected as intubation is not employed. READ MORE
