Anesthesia literally means "numbness, indifference". Therefore, surgery is a painless and memorable procedure for patients. However, it is not enough for a safe procedure to eliminate this feeling. During the procedure, your important functions (such as breathing and circulation) are also checked. Therefore, the anesthesiologist is your protector in all aspects.
Surgery has been performed under anesthesia for about 150 years and advances in anesthesiology accompany the development of surgical techniques.
ANESTHESIA TYPES It means that the patient is unconscious / unconscious under anesthesia. Substances used to create general anesthesia are called general anesthetics. Those administered intravenously are called intravenous, anesthesia, inhalation anesthesia used with respiratory tract and oxygen. There are many general anesthesia drugs that can be chosen according to the characteristics of each patient.
Regional (Regional) Anesthesia Of a part of the body; (arm, leg, etc.) drugs called local anesthetics are injected with a needle and anesthetized as "Regional Anesthesia". Spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, nerve blocks etc. There are such varieties.
In small surgical interventions, only the area where the intervention is made is numbed. This application can be done by the doctor who will perform the operation, but your local anesthesiologist will be with you when the patient's vital functions need to be monitored or calmed down.
Painless Normal Birth and Cesarean Section Epidural analgesia is a procedure that prevents the feeling of pain below the waist by giving an anesthetic substance through the waist part of the expectant mother with the help of a catheter before normal birth. After the drug is given, labor pains are felt as contraction and pressure in the abdomen and groin, no pain and pain is felt.
Epidural anesthesia, combined epidural-spinal anesthesia or spinal anesthesia can be used as an alternative to general anesthesia in cesarean section surgery. The mother does not feel any pain in the lower part of her body during cesarean section. The mother can see her baby as soon as she is born during the operation. It becomes able to feed the baby as soon as possible.
During the application, the mother sits so that her waist is taken out. The area to be treated is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and anesthetized with local anesthesia. Then, with a special needle, medication is injected into the epidural space from the waist area. Usually, a catheter is left in this interval to be able to administer medication again later.
There may be a temporary headache after the procedure. There may be a temporary difficulty urinating.
