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.
When injected into the body either on human and animals, it stops or blocks sensations in that particular, small area or the entire body. There are some drugs that put a patient to sleep during the process, and they will remember and feel nothing. When a doctor chooses what to use, they base their assumption on the area and the time taken for the whole surgery to be completed. Your health history is also observed.
Local anesthetic drugs are administered to patients right at the very area where the surgical procedure is to be done. This is normally used particularly during extraction of a painful tooth. It is injected in the gums to kill the pain. These drugs are normally used on outpatients, and their effect normally lasts for a very short time. These drugs do not lead to the sleeping of the patient and the physician may administer it with sedative if need be.
The general anesthetic drugs are used when the operations is taking many hours to complete. When they are used, they make a person fall asleep to avoid feeling anything as it is being done. It also stops their memories. In most cases, it is administered as IV. There are instances where patients are made to inhale them as gases. Surgeries that require one to be in an uncomfortable position need this drug.
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 who are to undergo abdomen operations and c-section, the spinal block is used in the injection process. However, these are known to cause headache and spinal aches. Some patients who have been injected face respiration depressions.
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.
