An alternative to anesthesia in medical surgery is using ultrasound to locate peripheral nerves, then inject a nerve numbing medication into the area.

The medical term for pain prevention by inducing drug-induced sleep during surgery is anesthesia. This process involves administering medications to induce a state of unconsciousness and prevent the patient from feeling pain during the surgical procedure.

anesthesiologists are the physicians that are trained to administer anesthesia (a drug to make you sleep) and manage the medical care of a patient before, during, and after a surgery.
Usually the cardiology medical clearance for surgery is provided by the anesthesiology group for pre-admission evaluation. Ask your anesthesia group or surgeon for the form.
It depends on the patient and the procedure. Ask the surgeon.For instance, if the surgery were to be performed on a very small child who could not be expected to cooperate and hold still during the procedure, general anesthesia might be required.If the patient was having a simple soft tissue surgery, such as a frenectomy, general anesthesia would not be appropriate. On the other hand, if the procedure involved removing a large bony cyst or tumor, general anesthesia would likely be necessary.
The surgery is done under general anesthesia.
Yes, many anesthesia protocols for surgery include opiates or opioids as part of the pain management plan. These medications help to provide pain relief during and after the procedure. However, the specific use of opiates can vary depending on the type of surgery, the patient's medical history, and the anesthesia provider's preferences. Other non-opioid medications may also be used to manage pain and minimize opioid use.

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.
Able died from a reaction to the anesthesia while undergoing surgery to remove an infected medical electrode. (June 1, 1959).
Ileus means obstruction of the ileum, the last part of the small intestine. Paralytic ileus is a risk after surgery with general anesthesia.
