Is it stupid to have a body anesthesia?
Henan University Hospital No. 1 Anaesthesia and Surgical Medicine
Introduction:
The whole-body anesthesia is a medical tool that is widely used in surgery and diagnostic processes to achieve painless operations and to alleviate the suffering of patients. However, for many, one of the most worrying issues in the face of a full-body anaesthesia is whether it has a negative impact on the functioning of the brain. Some fear that a general anaesthesia can make people “silent”, i.e. irreversibly affected in terms of cognitive, learning and memory. The aim of this paper is to explore, from a scientific point of view, the effects of whole-body anesthesia on the functioning of the brain, as well as the current perception and evidence in the medical profession, in order to help readers better understand the truth about the whole-body anesthesia.
1. The definition of the whole-body anesthesia and the mechanism of its operation is a method of depriving the patient of consciousness, pain perception and mobility in surgery or other medical operations through the use of drugs in the central nervous system. This state of anaesthesia is different from that of a local anaesthesia, which simply renders a particular part of the area unconscious.
The mechanism of operation of the whole-body anaesthesia involves a wide range of drugs, most commonly inhaled and intravenous. These drugs achieve anaesthesia during the operation by regulating the release of neurotransmitters and the excavation of neurons, as well as by influencing the connection of the brain neuronet. At the end of the operation, the narcotic drugs are metabolized and excreted, and the patient gradually regains consciousness and physical function.
Are you going to be stupid after anaesthesia? Does the overall anesthesia have an impact on human memory or intelligence? It is believed that many patients with surgical anaesthesia have such concerns, especially parents of small children who need it. The answer given by the Food and Drug Administration of the United States (FDA) is that, among children under three years of age or women in the first three months of pregnancy, repeated application or prolonged use of whole-body anesthesia or sedatives may affect the brain development of children. In fact, all-body anesthesia, which is now used in clinical practice, includes sedation, pain and pine. These drugs generally have short half-lives.
The effects on the human body or the brain are limited and can be removed for two or three hours after the end of the general operation. For children up to the age of three and women during pregnancy, we weigh the risks and benefits. If some diseases endanger life, they have to be operated, while others that slow down can be delayed. To take a step further, even children up to the age of three and women during pregnancy have little effect on the brain of their children, provided that they are not subject to repeated application over a long period of time. For adults, conventional surgical anesthesia has little effect on the brain. However, in the case of older diseases themselves, unavoidable complications in surgery and surgery may lead to a decrease in brain function, such as excessive loss of blood during surgery, long periods of low blood pressure, diseases such as brain trauma and brain infections, or cases of asphyxia and oxygen deficiency, which may lead to a decrease in brain function in patients. This has nothing to do with the anesthesia itself, and there will be a significant improvement in the patient ‘ s prognosis by improving the ecstasy management.
Conclusions
Full-body anesthesia is a common and safe medical measure and plays an important role in modern medicine. Prior to the operation, the doctor assesses the risk according to the patient ‘ s circumstances and selects the most appropriate anesthesia programme. The risk of anaesthesia can be minimized through professional teams and rational use of drugs, ensuring the safety and success of the operation.
Thus, for those who are concerned about the effects of anaesthesia on the functioning of the brain, they can accept with confidence the methods of anaesthesia recommended by doctors and believe that the science and technology of modern medicine can provide them with safe and reliable surgical experience. In the future, we also look forward to continued advances in medical science and research to further ensure anaesthesia safety and availability.
