General anesthesia would only be used in a patient that is combative (eg mental illness, Alzheimer's disease, infant or child. Local anesthesia is much less dangerous, less expensive, and its very hard to justify doing anyone under general. Also many surgicenters just cannot do general because they have a RN do the anesthesia not a MD anesthesiologist.
There are ALWAYS risks with any kind of anesthesia...and general anesthesia has a higher risk of complications than an epidural.
I understand your concern. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my third child (but my 2nd child was born 19 years ago!). Both of my children were born vaginally without an epidural and I plan to not have an epidural with this one...
Hey All- I was just diagnosed with ms. My neuro is a general neuro and basically told me to research the Dmds available and to let him know what I would like to try. Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having 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.
The safest anesthesia for cataract surgery is topical (i.e., eye drops). Sometimes light sedation is also used with this method. Local (i.e., injection) anesthesia carries more risks than the eye drops, and you'll go home wearing an eye patch (and maybe a black eye.) General anesthesia involves the most risks. In my opinion, it's always a good idea to ask in advance what will be used.
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.
. I recently had a procedure where I was put under general anesthesia and they shocked my heart into a normal rhythm. I have been having mini panic attacks since then. Until now, my Anxiety has been under control. I was wondering if this is a side effect of the anesthesia? Can anyone help with this?
The orthopedic surgeon mentioned that the most likely anesthesia would be an epidural rather than a general anesthesia. There is little information on epidurals online. Is it given directly into the spine, like the spinal they sometimes give during labor? Someone told me that, for knee surgeries, the epidural is actually given below the spinal cord and there is no risk of injury to the spinal cord.
However, they will have to run a few tests to check if local anesthesia is better or the general one. Iv been on claxean injections n asprin through out my pregnancy since my daughter was a really low birth weight. So wat do u think is better local or general?
I notice that after any procedure whether minor or major, I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks for at least a month after oral or general anesthesia. It is quite dibilitating!! Does anyone else suffer from this?. I almost become neurotic!!
I have never had a cystoscopy but I did have surgery under general anesthesia a week and a half ago. First, if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask you parents or doctor. Second, general anesthesia is easy! You just take an awesome nap! The beginning gas is a little stinky but from there it is nothing. You will be sore later I'm sure but the actual anesthesia is very easy! I wish you the best of luck an no worries!
Some months ago I had an anesthesia for a gastroscopy. There were usde the following neuroleptics: propofol, midazolam and fentanyl. I slept for about 2 hours and as soon as I woke up I was abnormally acting like a drunk. That being ended up in a couple of hours but unfortunately some symptoms and problems remained.
The main choice is iv sedation with local block vs general which is the tradition method. General anesthesia will usually make you more groggy and nauseated afterward than iv sedation but makes the surgery technically easier for the surgeon. Talk with an experienced strabismus surgeon, the best in your area, and see what he or she prefers - that would be your best bet.

Is it very painful to do it when you're awake?
However, if the behavior management of pediatric patient is achievable , generally general anesthesia is not mandatory. Seeing a competent pediatric dentist is advised.
When I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy they gave me general anesthesia and intubated me and everything. This was probably cause I'm young and have other health problems but it isn't unheard of to give someone general anesthesia for a colonoscopy.
