Both general and regional anesthesia are inherently safe for knee arthroscopy. One or the other may be preferable for you depending on your general health and the specifics of your medical history. This is usually determined by your anesthesiologist. I know of no study that documents the frequency of one anesthesia technique over another for simple knee arthroscopy.
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. These artifactual defects can be identified by performing a gated perfusion study to assess regional wall motion.
Hi,
Spermatocelectomy is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with either regional or general anesthesia via a transscrotal approach. There is the risks of infertility, as well as the more common complications of hematoma, infection, swelling, recurrence, and pain. Postoperatively, scrotal support and ice packs to the dressing is commonly used. Oral analgesics is needed for adequate postoperative pain relief.
Local anesthesia may be used by your health care provider during delivery to numb a painful area in or around the vagina if stitches are needed. Local medications do not reduce discomfort during labor.
Regional anesthesia (also called an epidural or spinal anesthesia) is administered by an anesthesiologist (a doctor who delivers pain medicine) during labor to reduce discomfort.
Anesthesia could be regional or general. Regional anesthesia can be applied to the forefoot and local anesthesia can be used for a minor bone spur removal. a sedative relaxes the individual and a tourniquet may be applied to ankle and foot to reduce blood flow and a clear work field. Bone spurs on the foot are removed via an open procedure by cutting into the foot, taking care to avoid damage to tendons and nerves.
This procedure can be done with local, regional, or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia requires injections of numbing medicine into the tissue surrounding your cervix, inside your vagina. You remain awake through the procedure and may feel some cramping in your pelvis.
Regional anesthesia for hysteroscopy is done with either a spinal block or epidural block. For this type of anesthesia, a drug is injected through a needle or tube in your lower back by an anesthesiologist.
Hello,I would like to find out if it is possible to have surgery to remove a 4cm dermoid cyst from the ovary,under epidural/spinal or regional anaesthesia instead of general.If not possible could you please tell me why?
If it involves the regional kind (this means anesthesia will be delivered through the spine at the lower back), some patients become anxious when they regain consciousness and realize that they can't move their legs- this is part of coming out of the anesthesia - not everything returns at the same time.
The adverse effects experienced are similar to those with use of adenosine. While adverse effects are less frequent with dipyridamole (47% of patients), they tend to be more serious than those associated with adenosine. The most common adverse effects of dipyridamole are chest pain (19%), headache (12%), and hypotension (4.6%). In addition, 12% of patients require aminophylline for reversal of adverse effects.
My mother died at age 49 a week and half before her 50th birthday on September 1,1985 when I was 20 from a rare aggressive type of endometrial cancer stage 4 in just 4 months after being diagnosed,although she put off going and getting checked out by the doctor for many months after she was feeling weak and sick already.
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.
While you are taking Aggrenox (aspirin/dipyridamole), you should avoid taking over-the-counter pain medicine, especially any other products containing aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Also, Avoid alcohol, or drink a minimal amount, as the combination of Aggrenox and alcohol could cause stomach bleeding.
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.

Anesthesia of this nerve causing drooping of the eye so it seems likely that this is what happened. Explain to them the next time you go in that this happened and they can adjust the administration so as to avoid this again (although it really wouldn't cause any harm)!
That can be done under general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or heavy IV sedation. You will need some tissue for biopsy, but no need to be tortured to obtain it. That's why we have anesthesia!
The other thing to consider, is what to do to prevent the thickening from coming back afterwards--for many people, taking progesterone for 14 days every three months works very nicely--and then follow the lining size with ultrasound.
WHile they can be treated with a cast, the treatment course is prolonged, and the risk of rerupture is high. Surgery is often done with regional anesthesia, rather than general, and is done as an outpatient. Recovery is very predictable, and the success rate is very high.
Partial tears, can be treated non surgically. Treatment options include immobilization, and a course of physical therapy. Recent success has been reported with the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections.
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?
Consult an orthopaedician for evaluation and you might require an arthroscopic exploration of the knee joint and ACL reconstruction under regional anesthesia. Xray of the leg including knee joint is of course required to rule out bony fracture. You can take over the counter NSAIDs, apply hot fomentation etc for supportive therapy. Hope this helps. Take care.
