Anesthesia and reanimation

Anesthesiologists
are the most important part of the operating room team, even their secret
hero. Because it is not possible to start the operation without
anesthesia. The drugs used to prevent the patient from feeling pain during
surgery are determined and administered by the anesthesiologist and reanimation
physician. It is also the most important responsibility of the
anesthesiologist to minimize some of the negative effects of anesthesia on the
human body and to ensure that the patient wakes up after the operation without
affecting his vital functions.

Temporary
loss of consciousness and decreased reflex activity without any change in vital
functions is called general anesthesia. General anesthesia
application; It causes loss of consciousness, prevents the patient’s
awareness during surgery, provides comfort to the patient during surgery by
eliminating pain, and facilitates the surgical intervention by suppressing
reflex activity and muscle relaxation. With these effects, the aim of
general anesthesia is to provide appropriate surgical conditions. However,
it is also the duty of the anesthesiologist to maintain the health and safety
of the patient during the operation.

Anesthesia
can be applied by doctors who have trained in anesthesia and reanimation on medical
education. Anesthesia technicians, who are trained to assist
anesthesiologists throughout the surgery, are also a very important part of the
anesthesia team.

The
vascular access of the patient who is taken to the operating room is opened
first. The patient is then monitored to monitor vital functions such as
heart, breathing, and blood pressure. After these preparations, for
general anesthesia, only special drugs under the authority of the
anesthesiologist are administered to the patient through the inserted
serum. A special tube is placed in the trachea for respiratory tract
continuity and safety. After the safe depth of anesthesia is provided,
surgery can be started with the permission of the anesthesiologist. The
continuity of anesthesia is provided by the administration of respiratory tract
and intravenous drugs together or separately. After the operation, the
anesthesia drugs used are terminated and the patient is awakened under the
supervision of an anesthesiologist and taken to the recovery room. The
patient is warmed up here, the pain is relieved, measures are taken against
nausea and vomiting,
