No, patients do not always get intubated during major surgeries. The decision to intubate depends on various factors, including the type of surgery, the patient's medical history, and the anticipated duration of the procedure. Some surgeries may be performed under regional or local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake or sedated without the need for intubation. Anesthesia teams carefully assess each situation to determine the best approach for patient safety and comfort.

What does entibated mean?
"Entibated" typically refers to the state of being intubated, which is the insertion of a tube into the airway to assist with breathing. This procedure is often performed in medical emergencies or during surgery to secure an airway for patients who cannot breathe on their own. The term is not commonly used and may be considered a variant or misspelling of "intubated."
Is herapin a drug?
Yes, Herapin is the active ingredient in medication that thins the blood. Patients take this medication during or after certain surgeries to prevent blood clotting.
Who invented chloroform as anesthetic?

How were doctors like in the thirteen colonies?
They were not careful and the patients had to be wide awake during surgeries. the doctors would wear normal clothes while performing surgeries and the did not need to wash their hands or keep hygiene (at least that's what they thought) and most patients would not be alive to see another day!
What do you do after a patient has been intubated during two person CPR?
After a person has been intubated, chest compressions are no longer interrupted to do ventilations. Instead, chest compressions are done continuously, and ventilations are done simultaneously at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This is because now that the patient is intubated, (assuming placement of the tube has been confirmed) the airway is open, so the rescuers no longer have to stop compressions to open the airway and check for chest rise.
An anesthesiologist practices what field of medicine?

What is the maximum blood transfusion quantity?
There really isn't one, only a gradually increasing risk for the patient. During big surgeries, it's quite common for a patient to have his/her entire blood volume replaced several times over. But even with the best processes, these surgeries always carry a risk.
How long does surgery like while under anesthesia?
The duration of surgery while under anesthesia varies widely depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. Minor surgeries may last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, while more complex surgeries can take several hours. The anesthesia itself typically lasts as long as the surgery, plus additional time for recovery, during which patients are monitored as they wake up. Always consult with the surgical team for specific information related to individual procedures.
Why do you vomit after your whipple surgery?
Whipple surgery, also called Whipple procedure is named after the famous American surgeon Allen O. Whipple (1881 - 1963) who first described Whipple Disease. During this surgical procedure the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, a portion of the stomach, and other local tissues are excised. This is a major operation. Most surgeries cause patients to be nauseated and to throw up after surgery. There are many reasons for this. The two obvious ones are (a) the medications used during anaesthesia are poisons and the body attempts to "throw them out" by vomiting and the second (b) is the fact that the whipple surgery is a major operation involving the stomach. During this procedure the stomach becomes less active and the gut is temporarily slow. Introduction of food or fluids into the "quiet" stomach (no peristaltic activities) results in reverse peristalsis (vomitinng). During my twenty plus years as a Registered Nurse I did met very few patients who were not sick after surgery. Patients were sick after all surgeries, not just after whipple surgery. Patients are ususally more sick after surgery involving the stomach, intestines and the oesophagus.
