They are monitored about every five minutes for their respiration rate, heart rate, muscle tone, mucous membrane color and capillary refill time and usually a pulse ox (oxygen saturation in the blood). and at the beginning of the surgery, in the middle, and at the end a blood pressure will be taken. Also fluids may be given and if so, the drip rate will be monitored and if the blood pressure decreases drastically, fluids can be given to increase it. other drugs can be given if other vital signs are either too low or too high.

Anesthesia complicated by utilization of controlled hypotension

Not at all! For some people it can be very painful to have a cystoscopy without anesthesia because of certain bladder issues. Having a cystoscopy under anesthesia allows the doctor to take a better look at the bladder without the patient moving or being tense. It also allows the doctor to see how a person's bladder operates when they don't feel the pain or discomfort. So once again, no you are definitely not a wimp for having this procedure under anesthesia!

The material should change color if it has absorbed waste gases. The frequency of use dictates how often you should change it, but even with very minimal use the granules should be changed at least once monthly.

I had abdominal surgery 1 week ago with general anesthesia. I'm on 2 antibiotics.

My taste buds are totally screwed up: sweet things taste bitter--can only use very little sweetener, if any. Bread, baked potato and applesauce come closest to my

memory of their tastes. I had to spit out the coffee I made--a favorite blend and delicious in the a.m. It tasted awful. Tea is okay if weak and milk is added. In the past, I never had my tea with milk. Of course, the blessing is that I don't have much appetite--stomach still bloated. My smell is probably affected too. I'll ask the doctor when to expect a return to normalcy.

In America Anesthesia (on people) is conducted primarily by Anesthesiologist and Nurse Anesthetists. Anesthesiologist are Medical Doctors who complete a residency in Anesthesia. Nurse Anesthetists are Registered Nurses who complete a Master's Program in Anesthesia (usally 24-30 continuous months). A less common, but rapidly growning field is the Anesthesiologists Assistant. These providers completed an undergraduate degree with pre-requisit courses similar to medical school admission and then completed ~ 3 years of Anesthesia training. Physician Assistants can also attend these schools for a sometimes decreased amount of time to receive anesthesia training. Currently these providers work in around 20 states. Dentists also have some anesthesia training and many receive additional training in anesthesia related to their field.

Nothing you can do. Just takes time before it is totally gone.

Careful injection of local anesthesia or nerve blocks create sufficient numbness to allow the surgery to be performed painlessly, without the risks associated with general anesthesia.
