- Should this isotope testing be done after catheterization? What new infromation could be gained from that?
- Since adenosine or dobutamine be used as stimulants, what kind of danger could it be? I read some articles on PubMed saying that adenosine/dobutamine can cause things from AV block to ventricular fibrillation.
Persantine is dipyridamole, but you will have to get extended release tablets as the two asprin and dipyridamole should not be taken together. Don’t change the medications without discussing with your doctor. So, consult him and then decide.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
What is nonreversible apical inferior wall and what does it mean when they say no dipyridamole-induced reversible ischemia .there is mild defect in the apical inferior wall that is not reversible at rest.
Some of the alternatives include aspirin, Clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlodipine (Ticlid), dipyridamole (Persantine). Another alternative is Heparin injection. Different situations require different levels of anticoagulation. It is important to discuss the best treatment option with a physician.
I suffered a mild stroke (blood clot) Consultant prescribed Clopidogrel but cannot tolerate side effects. Then consultant prescribed Dipyridamole. I cannot tolerate this either. Severe headache, vomiting and diarrhoea. Has anybody got a different medication they are on?
The drugs used in general anesthesia act as hypnotics, painkillers, and muscle relaxants. They also block a person's memory of the surgery
Conscious sedation, which induces an altered state of consciousness that minimizes pain and discomfort through the use of pain relievers and sedatives, allows the patient to speak and respond to verbal cues throughout the procedure, although he or she may not remember any of what occurs.
ECG last month showed SVES, RBBB. This week he has stress test with dipyridamole protocol, and injection of thallium-201. The result showed "evidence of mild, small to medium size, irreversible perfusion defect in the inferior/inferolateral wall (mid to basal level)." Could you explain what this means? Does he need to have surgery or pacemaker? thanks in advance for your help.
I looked at the package and ASASANTIN is a brand name for DIPYRIDAMOLE/ASPIRIN.
Thought I would clarify that.
I have had three procedures, two where I got sedation and one where I got general anesthesia. Waking up from sedation the first time I felt tired and groggy but no nausea. The second time I got sedation I got a different type and I woke up groggy and hallucinating. I was nauseous, however part of the procedure was waking up with a tube down my throat into my small intestines to make some measurements so I don't know whether I would have been nauseous without the tube.
If you are an elderly person, you have a rare chance of winding up with long-term cognitive deficits from anesthesia and/or the procedure itself, according to medical literature. The physician who did the procedure and gave you the anesthetics is the person you must visit to determine if your age figured into your current symptoms.
Has anyone out there ever had to receive more then general and/or local anesthesia? I read that sometimes, so the patient does not cough or move during surgery, there will be a tube put down their thoat to be put on a breathing machine. This scares me - if anyone has had this done or know why its necessary or the pros & cons, please reply.
However I did find some helpful comments on anesthesia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and chronic fatigue/immune deficiency syndrome (CFIDS) -- both of which are mysterious catch-all terms for conditions that look a LOT like Lyme ... and may be Lyme, just viewed by docs who don't yet 'believe' in Lyme.
s severely depleted condition, especially since my son had the same organic acids test 8 months before ever being exposed to anesthesia, and the indicators for oxidative stress and glutathione levels were in the normal range then.
Again, he already had a severe condition, (endocrine problems and hormone depletion) so I don't know if he would have developed his severe orthostatic intolerance or breathing difficulty if he had been perfectly healthy going under anesthesia.
While myocardial perfusion imaging greatly enhances the sensitivity and specificity of exercise testing, false positive and negative results are known to occur. False negative imaging is especially common when exercise is submaximal or in dipyridamole/adenosine studies of patients with severe obstructions of all three major coronary vessels. False positive scanning may be caused by signal attenuation from an elevated left hemidiaphragm or from breast tissue.
Are there specific dangers I should be aware of (e.g., (1) if they use barbiturates as anesthesia, and I am already taking them, could that put me into a coma (from barbiturate poisoning, etc), or (2) if bringing me off of the anesthesia they somehow remove the benzo/bartiturate levels in my body and I seizure/coma from coming off too fast?).
Thank you.

Reversible perfusion defect is an area of the heart muscle that does not receive an adequate amount of blood at stress (ischemia) but does so at rest (reversible ischemia). Here the muscle can be saved and the areas identified are infero-septal and apical segment. After identifying the defects a cardiac catheterization helps to study the arterial structure of the heart and to identify the blocks for further therapy. So, your doctor may next ask for cardiac catheterization.
My friend was scheduled for hernia surgery today, but it was canceled because he used methamphetamine two days ago. What are the risks of interaction between methamphetamine and anesthesia and how long should he abstain before it's safe to have surgery?
They use a soft flexible tube, smaller than the diameter of a pencil (but not much smaller) and insert it through your urethra and into your bladder. There is a small camera within it and your bladder is slightly filled with sterile water as the scope looks around your bladder. They check the walls and the opening to the urethra coming out of the bladder.
I agree with the 2 other commenters...if the doctor cannot or will not use anesthesia, or even lidocaine...seek another urologist that will.
Dear Albina, Sometimes after surgery people can have side effects such as nausea which may be related to the anesthesia or other medications prescribed. Hopefully you have been in touch with your mother's doctor for advice and she is feeling better as well.
