  • What is procedural anesthesia?

    Procedural Anesthesia is another term for “Monitored Anesthesia Care”, or a means of intravenous Anesthesia that does not require an invasive airway device. In other words, the patient is breathing without assistance and is given a titrated anesthetic strategy that is just sufficient enough to accomplish the task at hand; be it a radiologic scan for an anxious patient, or sedation combined with local anesthetic from the surgeon for minor procedures.

  • Do kids need anesthesia before being taken for a CT scan?

    First of all I am sorry your young son is having pulmonary issues. For this reason I am sure they will be as conservative as possible with sedation as they would not want to further any issues he may have with his breathing and oxygenation. If he is extremely agitated such that the scan is unobtainable, you may be asked for permission to give one of several strategies of sedation, very briefly. An anesthesiologist would then be involved for sure and again would only provide the minimum degree of sedation to ensure both yours son’s safety, as well as efficacy of the CT. READ MORE

  • Can anaesthesia lead to neurological issues?

    It is always a scary prospect when family members undigo surgical procedures, and it is very understandable to be sensitive to any changes in their baseline status after emergence from Anesthesia. Obviously it is our goal to avoid any preventable decreases in a patient’s functional of cognitive capacity. To answer your question directly, minor tremors or periods of delirium are not altogether uncommon and can be due to unavoidable decreases in a patients inhibitory neuro-transmitter function after General Anesthesia. In addition, there are many unpredictable effects of various commonly delivered peri-operative medications on a particular individuals system. If pre-existing cognitive deficits are present and identified, certain medications and types of inhaled anesthetics can be substituted. However, even with all means of due diligence, there is no perfectly predictive means to determine how each patient will react to a particular anesthetic regimen. This is why recognition of pre-existing deficits, choice of technique and close follow up postoperatively from the entire care team are all important. My best wishes on his recovery. READ MORE
