What to know about pre-surgical anesthesia for plastic surgery

At present, most of the candidates know that before doing plastic surgery to do their homework, such as what kind of effect they want, what kind of surgical methods, and so on, but a very important part of the plastic surgery process but know very little, that is – anesthesia! Do you know that the plastic surgeon is responsible for your face, but the anesthesiologist is responsible for your safety! First of all, the anesthesiologist should understand your physical condition and give you a certain evaluation, and then choose the appropriate anesthesia and anesthesia drugs according to this evaluation. The patient’s cardiorespiratory reserve, underlying diseases, and abnormalities that need to be corrected all depend on the anesthesiologist’s clinical diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment. Before major and complex surgery, there is a so-called “anesthesia risk assessment”, that is to say, if the anesthesiologist says that the patient can not be operated, the operation can not be done. Anesthesia Risk Assessment The anesthesiologist is also highly nervous during the surgery, because the surgeon will pay attention to his own knife, while the patient’s vital signs are all to be paid attention to by the anesthesiologist to ensure that the anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists will decide in advance the increase or decrease of anesthesia drugs and vasoactive drugs according to the steps of the surgery to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery, at the same time, they have a lot of experience in resuscitation, for the problems arising during the operation, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, severe reduction of oxygen saturation and so on, which will lead to serious consequences of the case, they will inform the main surgeon whether the need to stop the operation, as well as symptomatic treatment, to maximize the safety of you! Third, postoperative monitoring Wait until the end of the operation, the anesthesiologist has to sit in the operating room with the patient postoperative awakening, from beginning to end of the nerves have been tightly collapsed. So, the moment you enter the operating room, your life will be given to the anesthesiologist for safekeeping, he will keep guarding you until you leave the operating room safely and soberly, it’s that important! What are the different types of anesthesia? There are many kinds of anesthesia, which can be roughly divided into local anesthesia and general anesthesia, which is also the method usually used in plastic surgery: 1, local anesthesia Suitable for small traumatic surgeries. The use of local anesthetics, injected into the corresponding parts of the crural nerve, nerve plexus or nerve trunks and finer peripheral nerve endings are blocked, so that a part of the body temporarily lose feeling. It is divided into intrathecal anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia, regional block anesthesia, local infiltration anesthesia and surface anesthesia according to the way of administration. It is the most commonly used anesthesia method for cosmetic surgery. Local anesthesia in the anesthesia drug injected into the body at the moment there is a sense of pain, you are conscious during the operation. 2.General anesthesia Suitable for long time surgery. It refers to the anesthesia through inhalation, intravenous, intramuscular injection or rectal infusion into the body, so that the central nervous system is inhibited, resulting in the disappearance of the patient’s consciousness and the process of painlessness around the body. General anesthesia can be divided into inhalation anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia and combined anesthesia according to different ways of drug delivery. After general anesthesia in the whole process of surgery you are completely unconscious, so there will be no pain, you just sleep on the operating table. Fifth, plastic surgery will take which kind of anesthesia? 1, double eyelid surgery must be local anesthesia, because you need to cooperate with the doctor blinking eyes, open your mouth and do some other facial expression movements, in order to ensure that the proportion of the face after plastic surgery is harmonious. 2, rhinoplasty local anesthesia or general anesthesia. 3, bony facial contouring surgery: that is, cheekbones, jaw angle and so on, usually using intubation anesthesia, which can effectively prevent hemorrhage after asphyxiation. 4.Liposuction: local anesthesia, general anesthesia or nerve block anesthesia can be chosen. 5.Autologous fat filling: general anesthesia or local anesthesia. 6.Breast implant: general anesthesia or thoracic spine high anesthesia. 7.Breast ptosis suspension: general anesthesia or thoracic spine high anesthesia. 8.Facial laser treatment: epidermal anesthesia. 9, Facial submerged wire lifting: local anesthesia. 10, full wrinkle: general anesthesia. Whether to choose general anesthesia or local anesthesia usually take into account the characteristics of the operation and the condition of the patient. Six, take anesthesia safety? As with any kind of drug, anesthesia also brings certain risks. After waking up from surgery, patients often feel some mild discomfort, such as sore throat, headache, hoarse voice, muscle pain and fatigue, etc. However, it will disappear completely after a few days of rest. In fact, the risks of each type of anesthesia are equal, and there is a saying in the anesthesiologist’s profession that “no surgery is too big or too small for anesthesia”. Each type of anesthesia has the potential for complications and accidents, so every anesthesia needs to be taken seriously by the anesthesiologist. Large doses of anesthetics will indeed cause a devastating blow to the nervous system, but after more than a hundred years of exploration, people have basically determined the safe dosage of existing anesthesia drugs, whether general anesthesia or local anesthesia, have been in clinical use for many years, is a very mature anesthesia. Finally, we remind you that cosmetic surgery must choose formal qualified medical beauty institutions, before undergoing surgery, you can go to the hospital blood test to understand whether they belong to the allergic body, the report to the plastic surgeon together with the development of anesthesia program.
