Anorexia can affect the respiratory system negatively. Due to a weakened immune system, an individual with anorexia is more suceptible to infections. With a severe lack of nutrition, organs will begin to weaken under stress and shut down.

Can you get pneumonia from surgery?

Yes, pneumonia can develop as a complication after surgery due to factors such as anesthesia, immobility, and the presence of a breathing tube.


What is it called when you awake during surgery and the drugs fail to put you asleep?

Surgical Recall [That depends on the goal of the surgery. Conscious sedation= where the goal is to reduce the sensation of surgery, but to keep you from deep anesthesia, a state where it is necessary to control your breathing. Anesthesia= where the goal is to eliminate all sensation and pain of surgery, necesitating control of your blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate. A failure to achieve complete anesthesia when it is ethically necessary to do so is malpractice. ]

What is a anesthesiologist schedule like?

The anesthesia provider is responsible for keeping the patient anesthetized during surgery and vigilantly monitoring their vital signs, ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) while the patient is under anesthesia or sedation. They monitor fluid input and output; placing IVs or central lines as necessary to deliver IV fluids, drugs, or blood or blood products during surgery. General anesthesia requires the anesthesia provider to intubate the patient, which is to place a breathing tube through the mouth into the trachea, or "windpipe," which remains in place during surgery. Surgery can be done with general anesthesia, regional anesthesia (spinals, epidurals, or peripheral nerve blocks), or monitored anesthesia care (MAC), which was formerly known as "local [anesthesia] with sedation." The anesthesia provider is responsible for the patient's care during the initial post-operative period in the recovery room. They determine when the patient is ready for extubation (removal of the breathing tube), which is usually -- but not always -- done in the operating room after the patient is awakened from general anesthesia, but before they go to the recovery room (or "PACU," post-anesthesia care unit).


How much work will you miss with mallet finger surgery?

The surgery takes about an hour with most time spent waiting for the local anesthesia to take effect, plus time to take x-rays of the pin after it is inserted. I was able to go to work right after the surgery. The only pain was the shots for the local anesthesia.


Is pneumonia a common complication after surgery?

Is it Worth the Risks?

Before undergoing any surgical procedure, answer these questions: Is the surgery medically necessary?; What are the risks involved in undergoing the surgery?; What type of anesthesia will be used?; What are the risks involved in undergoing the anesthesia? If surgery is NOT medically necessary, explore other alternatives. If the risk of undergoing general anesthesia is too great, explore other forms of anesthesia such as a regional block or local anesthesia.
