invented anesthesia. Anesthesia is a medicine to relief pain over surgeries. “Anesthesia is a way to control pain during a surgery or procedure by using medicine called anesthetics” (Anesthesia - Topic Overview, 2005) Before anesthesia, there was no way to control pain or be distracted during a surgery. “What happens depends on the type of procedure you’re getting and the type of anesthesia that will be used, there are 3 kinds. General anesthesia which is when a person is asleep. Regional…
taken during surgeries to the treatments the ill received. However, to learn from the mistakes that were made throughout history in the medical world, one must become informed about the errors made prior.

Without the exciting changes made in the 19th century, medicine would be less advanced as it is today. If one was to undergo a surgery in…
other diseases have been and medical technology has come a long way.

Peng Wen et al. [50] used a novel index MLDoA to identify different anesthetic states of a patient during surgery. Based on the new index MLDoA, the assessment of depth of anesthesia (DoA) for a patient can be clearly monitored. Firstly, a modified Bayesian wavelet threshold is proposed to de-noise the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Secondly, the Hurst exponent is obtained to classify four states of anesthesia: deep anesthesia, moderate anesthesia, light anesthesia and awake. Finally, the…
Doctors have been doing surgeries for decades on human patients helping them lead a healthier life. Every year there are technological advances that help us in our everyday life. Some are more beneficial to specific professions while some are for the general public. One technological advance that has helped humans in many ways is assisted robotic surgery. Robotic surgeries are not uncommon but they aren’t used in everyday hospital settings. The machine is hand controlled by surgeons with a…
