Regional anesthesia has less impact on the cardiopulmonary system and is generally safer for the elderly or those with a history of cardiopulmonary disease, but still requires evaluation by a specialist.
Anesthesiologists will administer sedatives as needed, allowing you to complete the surgery in a relaxed, sleep-like state.
No. The anesthetic needle enters the intervertebral space, without touching nerves or bones, and will not cause spinal damage.
If you experience difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or a persistent high fever, contact medical personnel immediately.
An anesthesiologist will monitor the depth of anesthesia throughout the procedure, maintaining deep sleep and a pain-free state, and cases of patients waking up during surgery are extremely rare.
The LMA is placed by a professional anesthesiologist, and vital signs are continuously monitored during the procedure. It is highly safe and gentler than intubation.
Intravenous anesthesia is considered “mild to moderate” general anesthesia, allowing the patient to breathe independently; general anesthesia is deeper and usually requires machine-assisted breathing, making it suitable for more complex surgeries.
This is so that doctors can accurately monitor your blood oxygenation status through nail color and pulse oximeter, ensuring safety during the procedure.
After the surgery is completed and the anesthesia is discontinued, the doctor will remove the breathing tube, and the patient will immediately wake up and be transferred to the recovery room for observation.
