How to provide easy recovery from anesthesia?
Anesthesia is a General anesthesia of the body, which is accompanied by a medication sleep. His goal is to relieve the patient from pain during surgery. Proper preparation of the anesthesia will help to quickly bring the patient out of this condition.
Before surgery, the patient is often overcome by fear: if he wakes up after surgery, what are the consequences and how the anesthesia will affect him later in life? Therefore, doctor-anesthesiologist needed not only to correctly choose an effective and safe pain relief, but also to prepare a person psychologically. The exit of the patient from anesthesia requires special attention, because at this stage begins the restoration of all vital processes.
Patients with unstable nervous system sedatives administered the day before surgery.
How long is the withdrawal from anesthesia?
The output of the decay products of painkillers can boost with enhanced infusion therapy, diuretics, antidotes and stimulants. However, it would be correct to wait and watch for some time until the body will process the medication.
Postoperative patients generally are in a state of half asleep, as the effect of the applied anesthetic drugs takes 1.5-4 hours. Based on the performance status of the patient, it is possible to determine how long drugs will be withdrawn from his body. Recovery from anesthesia and awakening flow quietly if there is no post-operative pain, so the patient must be well enough numb.
During recovery from anesthesia reflexes in patients recovered gradually, so some time they can be inadequate.
Prevention of complications of anesthesia
Immediately after surgery the patient may experience headaches and hallucinations that take place in the coming hours after anesthesia. Vomiting is one of the most common effects of anesthesia, which can be prevented by abstinence from food and drink for the first 2-3 hours.
For prevention of thromboembolic complications and pressure sores, the patient is recommended to move more, turning from side to side. Too long stay of the patient under General anesthesia is fraught with memory impairment. To avoid this, you must daily drink at least 2.5 l of water for 7-10 days. This will speed up the cleansing of the body from pain medicines and will reduce their negative effect.
