Dr. Benjamin Taimoorazy, MD, FAHS's Expert Contributions
Can anesthesia leave a person dazed and drowsy for over two days?
Yes, depending on the type of the anesthetic used and the age of the patient and co-morbidities such as reduced kidney and hepatic function, there may be some lingering side effects from anesthesia. Benjamin Taimoorazy, MD FAHSDABPM DAAPM UCNS READ MORE
Why was my son given anesthesia for a CT scan?
Depending on the condition that is being investigated, at times a CT scan is ordered which is a very sensitive test. During the imaging the patient needs to be completely motion less. Therefore especially in the pediatric age group anesthesia is provided to keep the child from moving which may distort the images obtained and then necessitates more X-ray exposure to repeat the scanning.

How long does anesthesia stay in the blood?
Usually, oral sedatives such as midazolam are used for short, outpatient pediatric procedures. The sedative properties should not last more than 8-12 hours. Benjamin Taimoorazy, MD FAHSDABPM DAAPM UCNS READ MORE
Can anesthesia be administered to a patient with diabetes?
Yes. Anesthesia can safely be administered to this patient, preferably with the monitored anesthesia care method combined with local anesthetic supplemented by the surgeon.
