  • How long does lidocaine last after surgery?

    About 90 mins. READ MORE

  • Can shoulder surgery be done without general anesthesia?

    Yes. It depends on the patient’s medical condition and preference, surgeon’s preference, availability of resources to safely perform regional anesthesia. READ MORE

  • What is topical anesthetic gel used for?

    There are multiple types of topical anesthetic gels. They are generally used to treat painful conditions especially when you want to avoid systemic drug-drug interactions. The commonest you will see during anesthesia procedure is EMLA cream (Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5%). This cream/gel can be applied to the area, usually the back of the hand (for 30 mins to an hour) where an intravenous (IV) access is being planned. READ MORE

  • Can you get paralyzed by an epidural?

    The answer is that it is a possibility. The possibility is extremely rare. The possibility increases if the patient is on an anticoagulant----Coumadin, Xarelto, Eliquis, Brilinta, Plavix, etc. Patients are advised to stop these types of medications for specified days (depending on the anticoagulant) before spinal or epidural injections are done. Infections should also be treated before these types of injections are done. READ MORE

  • Can you have general anesthesia without intubation?

    Yes. READ MORE

  • Are you awake during back surgery?

    Since we don’t know what type of back surgery you’re scheduled to have, it would be difficult to definitively answer your question. Some of the minimally invasive back surgeries can be done with local anesthesia with or without sedation. The major back surgeries are done with the patient under general anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Is it normal to have a bad headache after anesthesia?

    It is usually not normal to have headache after most anesthesia. Since we don’t know the type of anesthesia you had, it is difficult to say that headache is a common side effect of the type of anesthesia you had. Post-dural puncture headache (headache that increases with sitting or standing and decreases on laying down) can occur after spinal regional anesthesia, especially in younger patients — like your age group. READ MORE

  • What kind of anesthesia is used for a lumpectomy?

    The choice of the anesthetic depends on the size of the breast lump and the medical condition of the patient. In a healthy 45-year-old female with small sized breast lump, injection of local anesthetic on the breast skin and immediate breast tissue around the breast lump would be sufficient. With moderate-sized breast lump, conscious sedation can be added to the local anesthetic. Larger breast lump might require general anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Where is local anesthesia injected?

    Since we do not know the exact back procedure you would be undergoing, it is difficult to tell you where the local anesthetic would be injected. At least some local anesthetic would be injected on your skin to numb the skin before a needle is introduced deeper into the back or a knife to make an incision to facilitate the procedure. READ MORE

  • Is local anesthesia safe for adolescents?

    Without knowing the type of surgery that your teenager would be having, it is difficult to say whether local anesthetic would be safe for your teenager. Local anesthetics are generally safe for teenagers if they are not allergic to the medications or have disease conditions that affect the metabolism of local anesthetics. READ MORE

  • What anesthesia is used for people over the age of 80?

    The anesthetic used for patients over 80 years old depends on what type of surgery they are scheduled for and the healthiness of the patient. For example, if the procedure is a cataract surgery, the anesthetic is most likely a local anesthetic, whereas open heart surgery would be done with a general anesthetic READ MORE

  • Can spinal anesthesia cause paralysis?

    One of the many possible side effects of spinal anesthesia is lower extremities paralysis. This occurs in very rare cases of epidural hematoma during or after the performance of spinal anesthesia especially when a patient is on an anticoagulant (like coumadin, xarelto, eliquis, etc.). That is the reason that patients are asked to stop anticoagulants for varying days before the performance of spinal anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Do you have to be intubated for general anesthesia?

    You do not have to be intubated for all General anesthetic. READ MORE

  • What type of anesthesia is used for an appendectomy?

    General anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Why do they tape your eyes shut during surgery?

    To prevent eye injury. READ MORE

  • What type of anesthesia is used for herniated disc surgery?

    Most neck and back herniated disc surgeries are done using general anesthesia. There are some that can be done with local anesthesia and minimal sedation. Those are usually for the one inch incision or no incision needed type of surgeries—-percutaneous discectomies. READ MORE

  • What does waking up from anesthesia feel like?

    It depends on the type of anesthesia you’re given. If you receive local or regional anesthesia, where local anesthetic is injected into the area or region of the body being operated on, you will not feel any effect of anesthesia more than numbing of the area(s) involved for a few hours. If you receive general anesthesia, you should expect to feel foggy for a few hours or the entire day. If a tube was inserted into your throat to help you breath during the anesthesia, you might have scratchy throat for the entire day. You might feel nauseated or even vomit sometimes after general anesthesia. That would usually be treated before you’re discharged from the surgery center or hospital. READ MORE

  • Is local anesthesia used during breast biopsy?

    Yes. READ MORE

  • Do they put you to sleep for laparoscopic surgery?

    Yes. READ MORE

  • Is general anesthesia required for a tonsillectomy?

    Tonsillectomy surgery requires general anesthesia. The surgeon and the anesthesiologist must share the airway during the procedure. For the airway to be secured an endotracheal tube must be used. It’s difficult to have an endotracheal tube to secure the airway in a child without using general anesthesia. READ MORE
