Local anesthesia

Safely, Anesthesia is used in surgeries to control pain, trauma, blood pressure and heart rate. It lets the person have no memory, unconsciousness, and immobility throughout the procedure. General Anesthesia can either be injected in the vain or inhaled. Without the modern technology to make General Anesthesia a safe practice, many surgeries would not be performed. Aren't you glad anesthesia was invented so you do not have to feel pain while in surgery? In 1772, English scientist Joseph…

the surgical pre-operative, intra-operative, and immediate post-operative processes. This role incorporates preoperative review of existing assessment information ensuring completeness of surgical records/data, implementing any immediate surgical/anesthesia orders, communicate pre-operative medical changes, and act as advocate for patient safety through patient centered care. Ms Gonzalez skillfully demonstrated leadership, functioning to the role of unit facilitator in the absence of the Unit…

cesarean section, a strong solution of local anesthetic is required aiming to achieve rapid and good quality of epidural anesthesia. Different solutions of local anesthetic are used for this reason. The optimum choice of local anaesthetic solution for achieving rapid and reliable epidural anaesthesia for caesarean section is still not clarified [1]. The solution used is selected according to personal preference or local practice. Addition of other drugs to the local anaesthetic as adrenaline,…

effect on the developing permanent teeth (Welbury, 2001). Due to Rangi’s asthma, I will select Mepivicaine as my choice of local anaesthesic. Wilkins (2005) emphasises that local anaesthetic with epinephrine contain sulphite properties that produce asthma symptoms. As a consequence, Rangi’s asthma is a contraindication to Mepivicaine. Mepivicaine seem to be the safest option of local anaesthetic for patients with contraindications to vasoconstrictors (Daubländer, Müller, & Lipp, 1997).…

progression of the surgery/operating rooms. As stated by Wikipedia a surgical procedure is an act of performing surgery (“Surgery”). When dealing with surgeries one needs to be mindful of a few things: anesthesia, making an incision (this breaks the skins barrier of protection), and healing times. Anesthesia is a type of medicine used during all medical procedures to numb…

Anesthesia is easily seen as one of the greatest things introduced to the medical field. Without it, surgery is virtually impossible and at the same time extremely painful. Anesthesia provides relief and painless procedures to patients while making surgeries much more common than they used to be. Many patients could not survive a surgery due to the excruciating pain, which would cause their blood pressure to rise dramatically causing extreme bleeding. With anesthesia being progressively used…

below, both as a complement to general anesthesia and as an alternative to centroneuraxial analgesia. For surgery of the hip, however, the role of peripheral nerve blockade needs to be defined (5, 6). Total hip arthroplasty, one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, generates significant postoperative pain that may be treated using regional anesthesia. Covert et al in his study concluded that when compared with other regimens, regional anesthesia provides superior pain relief…

Data for this study were derived from an AAOMS Outcomes Assessment Project study of anesthesia and third molar extractions in private practice oral and maxillofacial surgery offices. A randomly selected sample of 300 OMS were instructed to enter data on all eligible patients they treated during a one month period. This study has two study samples, a surgeon sample and subject sample. The surgeon sample was composed of OMSs randomly selected from the population of AAOMS members between June, 2011…

INTRODUCTION: The anesthesia-operator model for delivering sedation and general anesthesia in the office-based ambulatory outpatient setting is a hallmark of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). Office–based anesthesia is safe and has a high level of patient satisfaction.[1] Closed-claims data from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons National Insurance Company (OMSNIC), however, indicate that the most frequent reason for transfer of a sedated patient to an emergency room was respiratory distress.[2]…

thread lifting techniques that are presently performed under local anesthesia. The three methods (Contour Threads TM, Curl Lift and FeatherLift TM) all developed in different countries and carry minimal side effects resulting in long lasting effects of between around 2-5 years. The Curl Lift was developed by French plastic surgeon, Dr. Pierre F.Fournier.…
