Gregory A. Love's Expert Contributions
Am I really paralyzed under general anesthesia?
The use of muscle relaxants as part of general anesthesia began in the 1930s to provide more effective relaxation for surgical procedures without the risks of heavy doses of inhaled anesthetics. Muscle relaxants used in anesthesia do cause temporary and reversible paralysis. This requires use of a breathing tube and a ventilator to breathe for you. The medications are given after you go to sleep (induction) and are reversed at the end of surgery before you wake up. You are monitored by an anesthesia provider at all times during surgery to make sure that your air exchange is normal as well as your blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are continuously monitored for your safety. This has been a standard practice in anesthesia for many years and is generally considered part of the reason anesthesia is so much safer than in years gone by. READ MORE
