Hi, I appreciate that you have chosen icliniq.com for your medical needs. I am here to give you the best care possible. Cataract surgery requires a peribulbar local anesthetic block which is a painful procedure. Applying topical anesthetic cream two hours before the surgery will not help as the effect of topical anesthetic will recede after ten to twenty minutes. So if required it can be applied immediately before giving the block.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As such local anesthesia is safe, and one can readily go through the procedure. It is recommended to avoid any sort of illicit substances during anesthesia. Please let me know if you want some help. Thank you.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You are taking two drugs, one of which is a psychoactive compound (Kratom), while the other one is a mind calming magnet (Phenibut). If you have been taking those drugs for a long time, you may have some tolerance to Opioids, Benzodiazepines, or other sedative anesthetic medicines. So, I would suggest you personally inform the anesthesiologist regarding them so that he can make necessary adjustments in the dose of anesthetic agents. I just have added the effects of these medicines on the body.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Spinal anesthesia is good for surgeries below the umbilicus, like pelvic surgeries, and ovarian cysts as in your case. But the size of your cyst is large, more than 393 inches. It is a complex cyst (not simple), which would mean the surgeon may have to see other intrabdominal structures also, and may take more time to complete surgery. In addition, you may feel uncomfortable if he has to extend the incision above the umbilicus.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. Maybe, unintentionally, the epidural needle must have hit a blood vessel in the epidural space, and so the needle was withdrawn and reinserted in order to place it in the epidural space avoiding blood vessels. Hypotension in pregnancy may be caused by supine hypotension syndrome (a condition that occurs when a pregnant woman's uterus compresses the inferior vena cava while lying down), and they are also due to regional anesthesia. So, you were placed in the left lateral position, and you were given an injection to keep your BP (blood pressure) up.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. General anesthesia has known post anesthesia effects of nausea, retching, vomiting, etc. Also, these may be due to the direct effect of surgery and pain. You seem to be very sensitive and anxious about it.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per your history, my provisional diagnosis would be: 1. Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). 2. Fibromyalgia with little more inclination towards MPS.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I went through your query and understood your concern. Malignant hyperthermia is a rare inherited skeletal muscle condition with an incidence during anesthesia ranging from 1 : 10,000 to 250,000. Anesthetic drugs like Succinylcholine (depolarizing muscle relaxant) and volatile anesthetics like Halothane may trigger it. The use of both these anesthetics is preferred to be avoided in children.
Hello. Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Intubation was difficult in your case. The incidence of difficult intubation is five to seven percent in lean-built patients and 11 in obese patients.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. As far as anesthesia is concerned in your case, the eyelid surgery may be done under general anesthesia, which does require securing your airway safely. Prior to securing the airway, you will be given injectable medications to make you fall asleep so that you do not remember and also you are not aware of the procedure when it is being done. So I would suggest you not to worry.
