General Anesthesia question?



Recommended Posts

Please I have a question. Do you know if they use the tracheal intubation method or is just regular anesthesia without intubation. Thanks for your help.

I was intubated for my surgery. My surgeon only does it that way due to such a high % of his patients have sleep apnea which can restrict the airway. They did it after I was asleep and it came out before I woke up so if they hadn't told me they were doing it I would've never known. Hope this helps :)

To put me to sleep they put a mask on over my mouth and nose, then after I was completely out they inserted a tube down my throat. I could hardly talk after waking up because my throat was so dry.

I believe anytime they do laparoscopic surgery they intubate :)

Yes you are correct. A patient undergoing a laparoscopic procedure would always be intubated.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
