Dr. Boris Yaguda M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • Can anesthesia lead to neurological issues?

    It's hard to answer without knowing how old your father is, his medical history, what was the procedure and type of anesthetic used. In general there are rearly neurological complications from anesthesia. Side effects of medications used are more likely but they are typically short lived. READ MORE

  • Chance of serious complication from anesthesia?

    Typically these types of procedures are done under deep sedation. This means you are asleep and unaware of surroundings but your body functions on its own. There is no breathing tube, no paralysis. Some oral surgeons can administer deep sedation themselves, some choose to bring anesthesiologist on board. There is always a small risk of breathing problems with deep sedation but anesthesiologist is trained to recognize and intervene so that no significant issue occurs. It's a nervous experience to have anesthesia for the first time, but you'll be pleasantly surprised how smooth it goes. READ MORE

  • Is anesthesia safe for older people with dementia?

    There's a lot of debate about this. For a minor dental procedure, the amount and duration of anesthesia is not going to cause any harm. READ MORE

  • Nausea after surgery

    Depends on type of surgery and at what point you are given anti nausea drugs. If it's a fairly simple surgery, a propofol drip can be used as main anesthetic or regional anesthesia like spinal, epidural or nerve block. READ MORE

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

    Possibly, but sometimes as long as the child can be comfortably kept relaxed and not moving, it can be done without anesthesia since CT is fast. READ MORE

  • Is plavix( clopidogrel ) a blood thinner?

    It's definitely a blood thinner. Only your cardiologist can stop it. And it definitely needs to be stopped for surgery. There is no weaning process. It is stopped 5 days before surgery only if cardiologist allows. Then it is restarted a day or 2 after surgery. READ MORE

  • Is laughing gas ok for someone with anxiety?

    It won't. Another option is to take anxiolytic like Xanax an hour or two before procedure. READ MORE

  • What decides the medication before my surgery?

    Yes, to some degree. It also depends on patient's status and if procedure or surgery is going to be long or short and amount of stress it will inflict on the body. READ MORE

  • Should all medications be stopped before anesthesia?

    Blood thinners have no effect on anesthesia. They do have major impact on surgery. Most surgeries require stopping blood thinners few days in advance at discretion of your cardiologist or primary doctor. READ MORE

  • Type 1 diabetes and general anethesia

    The biggest issue is the swings in his glucose levels which shows his diabetes is not very well controlled. A night before surgery he will not be able to eat or drink so his glucose levels need to be monitored. By itself his diabetes doesn't place him for particularly increased risk per se, but the fact that sugar levels are not well controlled makes the job more difficult. Alert your anesthesiologist on the day of surgery about diabetes do he can do appropriate physical exam and interview and decide if his glucose levels need to be adjusted immediately before the surgery. He will need close monitoring after surgery for an hour or two. Overall, I would expect him to be just fine, it's not a complex surgery and anesthesia is fairly straightforward for someone his age. READ MORE

  • Sickness after anesthesia?

    Quite common, particularly if you had anesthesia before and had nausea or vomiting. It can last from hours to a day or two. Alert your anesthesiologist if you had previous nausea or vomiting after anesthesia, so the doctor can initiate a prophylactic treatment during surgery and modify anesthetic plan. READ MORE

  • Am I really paralyzed under general anesthesia?

    Depends on type of surgery. Most surgeries require paralysis. When muscles are relaxed, surgen able to operate and doesn't need to fight muscle strain and potentially cause damage to your tissue. Once surgery completed, paralysis is reversed. READ MORE

  • Do I have to stop taking my vitamins before anesthesia?

    All of the above are fine so long as they are not taken in excessive quantities. Things to be careful about are garlic, ginco biloba, kava, st John's wart. READ MORE

  • What is procedural anesthesia?

    Procedural anesthesia is anesthesia for procedures, usually minor compared to typical surgery. These may include colonoscopy or endoscopy, radiologic procedures. The difference is that anesthesia varies by type. General, regional, neuraxial, mild moderate and deep sedation. Both procedures and surgeries can be done by either of the above depending on type of procedure or surgery or patient specific issues. READ MORE
