Patient guide: the type of anaesthesia and its individualized selection
In medical practice, anaesthesia plays an important role in providing patients with temporary relief from pain or sleep while undergoing surgery or specific medical procedures, thus ensuring the safety and flow of the operation. As patients, a better understanding of the type of anesthesia and the logic of its choice will help you to make more informed choices before the surgery, ease stress and enhance the overall surgical experience. The following is a general article on anaesthesia for patients, designed to lift the veil of anaesthesia.
I. Basic concepts and objectives of anaesthesia
Anaesthesia, in short, deprives the patient of pain awareness or consciousness through the use of drugs to facilitate surgery or medical operations. Its core values are:
Pain relief: ensure that the operation is pain-free and improves the comfort of the patient.
Ensuring safety: Repressing stress, maintaining stability in life and creating an ideal environment for surgery.
Promotion of rehabilitation: reduction of physical and psychological trauma from surgery and acceleration of post-operative recovery.
II. Main classification of anaesthesia
Depending on the area and depth of operation, anaesthesia can be broadly classified as follows:
Light anesthesia.
Definition: The agent is painted directly on the skin or on the surface of the mucous membrane, resulting in local numbing.
Drugs commonly used: Lidocaine, Dinka, etc.
Application scenario: applies to small-scale operations or examinations, such as subcutaneous implants, piping cystectomy, etc.
Local impregnated anesthesia
Definition: Injecting the local body area with anaesthesia temporarily disrupting the area ‘ s sensory neurotransmission.
Characteristics: operation is simple, safe, patients are sober and the risk of complications is low.
Application scenario: for short-term, small-scale and less difficult operations such as oral treatment, fat tumour removal, etc.
Neural dry detoxification.
Definition: Injection of sterilisation in the vicinity of the outer neurological drying and regional anaesthesia by disrupting neurodynamic conductivity.
Applying scenery: often used for limb surgery, pain management, etc.
Characteristics: Useable both individually and in combination with other anesthesia.
Anesthesia in the vertebrae.
Definition: Injection of an narcotic drug into the vertebrae, detoxification of the nerve root to achieve anaesthesia in a given area.
Applying scenarios such as cervix, waist, pelvis and lower limb surgery.
Characteristics: The effect of anaesthesia is accurate and has a relatively small effect on the physical function of the patient.
Full anesthesia.
Definition: Total loss of consciousness through intravenous injection or inhalation of anaesthesia gas.
Application scenario: applied to long, complex operations.
Characteristics: Patients are unconscious and have no sense of surgery, but care is taken that the whole body of anaesthesia can inhibit the heart and cause hemodynamic instability.
III. Options for anaesthesia
The choice of anaesthesia is a comprehensive decision-making process involving the following factors:
Patients: Type of disease, severity and complications. Surgery characteristics: scale, scope, complexity and intended target.
Anaesthesia: advantages and disadvantages of different modes of anaesthesia and their application.
Patient ‘ s will: Taking into account the patient ‘ s personal preferences and psychological needs when various forms of anaesthesia are available.
IV. Pre- and post-aesthetic care
Before anaesthesia: Patients should follow medical orders to fast and fast water, maintain a calm mind and avoid stress. At the same time, doctors need to be informed of their history of allergies, medications and diseases.
After anaesthesia: The patient should focus on rest and avoid intense physical activity. There may be adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting after anaesthesia and a doctor should be contacted in a timely manner. In addition, follow-up reviews should be carried out in accordance with medical instructions to ensure the safety of the surgery.
Anaesthesia is a key link in the success of the operation, which not only effectively reduces the pain of the patient, but also ensures its safe and smooth operation. A better understanding of the type of anaesthesia and its selection principles will help you to make more informed decisions before the surgery. Please trust your anesthesiologists, who are committed to choosing the most appropriate anesthesia for you. On the journey of anaesthesia and surgery, let us work together to meet a healthy tomorrow.
