Advances in the medical field have seen surgical procedures to be painless contrary to what used to be the case some years back. There are many different types of anesthesia used in the health centers these days. Drugs for making treatment procedure painless are injected into the whole body or to a particular part of the body. These drugs make the make the area numb so that the patient will not have any sense of feeling as the procedure is undertaken.
These procedures are not only used on humans but also on animals. The medicine stop sensations on that particular area where it has been injected. Once the patient has been treated with this medicine, they tend to sleep throughout the procedure. Once surgery or any other treatment procedure has been completed, the patient wake up from the deep sleep, and they remember feeling no pain. The anesthetic procedure that the doctor will depend on the area where they are going to be used as well as the time surgery is going not to mention the health history of the patient.
An example of these drugs used is the local anesthetic. It is administered to patients in a small part of their body where the surgical procedure is to be done. It is used when extracting a painful tooth by injecting it in the gums to kill the pain. These anesthetic options are used for outpatients needs and their effect lasts for a very little time. People who are experiencing this drug are always awake but some are given sedative if need be.
When the surgery is taking long, the general anesthetic chemicals are used to help the patient sleep heavily. And while asleep, you cannot feel any sensation or know what is happening to you. It stops a person memory from working. Mostly it is administered as IV, whereby patients inhale them as gases. They are also applied for surgeries that need one to be in an uncomfortable state.
Like any other drug, the general anesthetic has its side effects to your health. However, they are manageable. The complications will depend on the person lifestyle: for example, if they smoke or take alcohol. Also it is determined by ones body condition, and the type of medications they frequently use and blood thinning chemicals in their body. Other rare complications that have been observed include lung cancer, heart failures and stroke but it is uncommon for people to die after being administered with it.
The third category is the regional drugs. As the name suggests, these are applied to bigger areas that needs an operation and where the local anesthetic medicines will not function well. This is further subdivided into subsections. It can be administered in the area surrounding your nerves. In most cases, it is preferred in areas around your limbs and face.
For those scheduled for C-section and abdomen operations, the spinal block is utilized in the injection process. They have a disadvantage of causing headaches and spinal aches. For those patients who have been injected on the face, they experience respiration difficulties.
A good doctor will recommend or use the best types of anesthesia on patients which have little effects on them. Different patients will react differently to these drugs. Some will experience fatigue while others will lose their memory easily.
