What is the specific process of general anesthesia surgery?

First, preoperative preparation. No food or drink. Under general anesthesia, pharyngeal reflexes are weakened. Therefore, if there is water and food in the stomach, it may flow into the trachea, which is a very dangerous complication! It is life-threatening. Do not hide whether you have eaten or drank before surgery. Do not eat or drink unless it is an emergency surgery and there is no time to do so. The day before the operation, the anesthesiologist will usually visit the patient and ask if there is any special medical history (general condition, medication and oral condition), whether postoperative analgesia is needed (it is better to get one for major surgery, it is not expensive to avoid suffering), and the anesthesia signature . The most stupid situation is when the patient and his family are upset and do not cooperate with the visit. They can only ask for local anesthesia for the operation under general anesthesia. I'm sorry, but if you don't sign, we won't do the operation. There is also a situation where the anesthesiologist believes that the patient's physical condition cannot tolerate the surgery and the anesthesia request is cancelled. Before surgery on certain special areas, you must remember to prepare the skin, that is, shave the hair. Be sure not to take aspirin one week before surgery! You must say it after eating it~!

On the day of surgery, before the patient is sent to the operating room, he will receive a preoperative injection, which generally sedates and suppresses the secretion of respiratory glands. After entering the operating room, you will still be waiting in the waiting area, and a nurse will give you an indwelling injection or something. I would like to add that before the operation, take off your personal belongings, autumn clothes, long underwear, bra, metal jewelry, shoes and socks. It is not cold in the operating room. Just wear underwear under the hospital gown. Please tie up your long hair. Although it may not involve the surgical site, it hinders the placement of monitoring instruments, possible expansion of the scope of surgery, and the addition of venous access. Metal objects may conduct electricity (electrosurgery) and cause burns.

After entering the operating room, the nurse anesthetist and surgeon will ask questions to verify the patient and surgical site. Please cooperate. Then lie down on the operating table as required. The anesthetist will administer oxygen through a mask. Then, with or without tracheal intubation, until it reaches a certain depth, surgery can be performed.

After surgery, patients who have been intubated may feel uncomfortable having a tube in their throat. Be sure to take a deep breath or cough at this time. Follow instructions to open your eyes and move your limbs. After a male patient has a urinary catheter inserted, he will feel very uncomfortable and feel like going to the toilet. Try not to move around. Then someone will remove the tube from your mouth. After unplugging, you must answer the doctor's questions. If you deliberately pretend to be weak and sleep (I have encountered such an aunt), you will be considered to have not woken up from anesthesia, which will cost you extra time and money.

Wait until you wake up from anesthesia and put on the postoperative analgesic device. The anesthesiologist or nurse will explain the special postoperative requirements, just follow them (such as continuing to fast and drink, use of analgesic devices, special postures etc.), and then sent to the operating room and ward. In this way, a general anesthesia operation ended harmoniously~
