Vomitting
There are a variety of ways to minimize (but unfortunately not eliminate) the risk of nausea and vomiting as a consequence of general anesthesia. One way is to use a combined regional and general technique. One might have an epidural catheter placed before surgery. The epidural will provide analgesia and muscle relaxation for the procedure. The anesthesiologist can then use a propofol infusion for unconsciousness. That may be helpful. READ MORE

Is local anesthesia safe for adolescents?
Local anesthesia is safe to use in virtually any patient. It involves the injection or application of a local anesthetic (numbing drug) to the site of the procedure. There are limits to the amount of local that a patient can receive but these are generous. The question asked specifically about a 12 year old patient. Whether such a patient can tolerate the injection and subsequent surgical experience awake depends upon the level of maturity. Pre- or early adolescence is a variable time in an individual's development. Not all will be able to tolerate the experience. Local anesthesia without sedation involves not only the application of injection of the drug either of which can be uncomfortable but also some stimulation from whatever procedure will then be performed. For example, the injection of numbing local anesthesia fro the removal of a skin lesion would likely burn. Thereafter the patient would likely feel no pain from the incision but may feel pressure or tugging on the skin. Not everyone will tolerate such an experience. READ MORE
