Types of anesthesia available at Helios medical center in Dnipro
During the consultation, the anesthesiologist determines one of the following methods of anesthesia.
General
Anesthesia of this type is used for heavy and painful manipulations, such as large cavity operations. It is a multicomponent anesthesia that is supported by precisely dosed intravenous or inhaled administration of hypnotics and analgesics and, in some cases, muscle relaxants. The patient breathes on their own or is connected to a breathing apparatus. The duration and scope of the operation is an important factor in choosing anesthesia. Depending on the concomitant diseases, the anesthesiologist additionally administers drugs to support the body's vital functions. With the help of monitor control and in some cases additional laboratory control, the anesthesiologist monitors and controls important parameters of respiration, cardiac activity, blood pressure, body temperature, and diuresis.
Local
For anesthesia of certain areas of the body, it involves the injection of local anesthetics into the area of nerve structures: roots, plexuses, trunks, endings, blocking the transmission of pain sensitivity along them, or as a variant of neuroaxial blockade, epidural and spinal anesthesia. Local anesthesia can be accompanied by medication sleep so that the patient does not see or feel anything during the operation. Or it can be without it, so that the patient is awake but does not feel anything in the surgery area. The anesthesiologist and the patient agree on this during the consultation. It is used when there are contraindications to general anesthesia, as well as for surgical interventions on the extremities. For a more accurate and safe administration of local anesthetic, the anesthesiologist determines the location of the nerve plexus using an ultrasound machine and a neurostimulator.
