What should you use in pregnancy operation local anesthesia or general anesthesia?
In pregnancy, local anesthesia is generally preferred for surgical procedures whenever possible, as it minimizes risks to the fetus and allows the mother to remain awake and alert. General anesthesia may be necessary for more invasive surgeries but carries higher risks, including potential effects on the baby. The choice between the two should be made based on the specific circumstances, the urgency of the procedure, and the stage of pregnancy, always prioritizing the safety of both mother and child. Consulting with an obstetrician and an anesthesiologist is essential to determine the best approach.

Can general anesthetic kill you?
Yes. There are several risks involved with general anesthesia, including death. This can occur in several ways - one can have a direct reaction to the anesthetic, the mixing with oxygen can be off, cardiorespiratory depression can occur from the anesthesia, and general anesthesia not infrequently results in hypotension. Of the most feared reactions to general anesthesia is malignant hyperthermia, in which the patient's temperature rises - frequently to above 106 degrees Fahrenheit - and carrying a high mortality. Your anesthesiologist should discuss this with you prior to your surgery at your pre-operative visit.
What are some things one should do to prepare for cosmetic surgery?

Why is your female cat drooling after spay operation?
An animal might drool within a few hours after surgery from the effects of the anesthesia. Sometimes the anesthesia causes nausea and vomiting. The nausea can cause drooling. Also, sometimes an animal can be slow to recover from the anesthesia, being dizzy, clumsey, and disoriented, which can also result in drooling. Keep an eye on her to see that she improves over the evening. These after-effects should wear off in a few hours. The cat should be fine the next day. If it is the day after surgery and she is still drooling, CALL THE VET.

Full recovery from the general anesthetic depends on what they use of course, but you should expect consciousness to return in less than an hour, and wakefullness the next day at the latest. Typically, the hospital will keep a patient subject to full anesthesia until bowel sounds return. Note that some of the newer anesthetics last for as little as 3 minutes after administeration ceases.
