| | Anesthesia, general |
 | | General anesthesia is the induction of a state of unconsciousness with the absence of pain sensation over the entire body, through the administration of anesthetic drugs. | | | When general anesthesia was first introduced in medical practice, ether and chloroform were inhaled with the physician manually covering the patient's mouth. | | | General anesthetics are given only by anesthesiologists, the medical professionals trained to use them. |

| | General anesthesia uses drugs administered systemically to render the patient unaware of anything that is being done to or around him or her. | | | A level of anesthesia that is satisfactory for surgery to the skin of an extremity, for example, would be inadequate for manipulation of the bowel. | | | The goal of this stage of the anesthesia process is to have the patient arrive in the operating room in a calm, relaxed frame of mind while causing minimal interference with breathing and cardiovascular status. |

| | General anesthesia is as effective and may be better than long-acting spinal anesthesia | | | However, general anesthesia was associated with slightly better outcomes than was either tetracaine or bupivacaine, which are longer acting drugs than lidocaine. | | | What's more, it found that patients receiving general anesthesia had better cognitive functioning and walking ability up to 24 months after surgery than those who received long-acting spinal anesthesia. |

| | General Anesthesia |
| | During the delivery of a general anesthetic the patient is rendered unconscious by various medications that depress the central nervous system thus making them insensible to painful surgical stimulation and depressing the bodies vital reflexes. | | | This is in contrast to other types of anesthetics where the patient may be only sedated and can be aroused during the course of the surgery if necessary, this is often referred to as sedation. | | | These include nausea, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, or a generalized "hang-over" type feeling. |

| | General anesthesia is not the name of a drug; it is a technique of administering anesthesia. | | | The anesthesia is continued in this manner until the completion of surgery, at which time the gases are discontinued and if necessary the effects of the muscle relaxants are antagonized or "reversed" with IV medications. | | | The choices are influenced by the nature of the surgical operation, the physical condition of the patient, availability, and the preferences of the anesthesia providers. |

| | Breastfeeding: Is general anesthesia safe while nursing? |
| | When considering the use (and safety) of general anesthesia in a nursing mother, it is important to keep in mind that general anesthetics are sometimes used during birth or a tubal ligation, and the newborn generally is encouraged to breastfeed as soon as the mother is awake and able to safely hold her baby. | | | A client undergoing general anesthetic for middle ear procedure is concerned about length of time postop she may be unable to breastfeed. | | | The newborn's immature system is much more at risk than an older nursing baby or child who is better able to metabolize a drug. |

| | Your vital signs (breathing, blood pressure, heart rate) can change with the administration of anesthesia. Your anesthesiologist carefully follows these vital signs to ensure that they stay within the limits that are necessary for the well-being of the baby. Therefore, general anesthesia does not harm the baby. | | | You will first be brought to the operating room where the safety monitors are applied. These include a blood pressure cuff, an oxygen monitor (clips on to the finger), and an EKG or heart monitor (stickers applied to the chest area). You will be lying on your back with your body slightly tilted. | | | The medications used to induce and maintain a sleeping state are not harmful to the baby. In fact, they have minimal if any anesthetic effect on the baby. |

| | Prophylactic caffeine to prevent postoperative apnea following general anesthesia in preterm infants |
| | One study (Welborn 1990) has suggested that apnea is more common following general anesthesia than following spinal anesthesia without premedication in infants having inguinal hernia repair, one of the most common operative procedures in ex-preterm infants. | | | In ex-preterm infants who undergo general anesthesia for surgery, does the prophylactic use of caffeine prevent episodes of apnea, cyanosis and bradycardia during the postoperative period without clinically important side effects? | | | The review found some evidence that caffeine given at the time of surgery reduces apnea, bradycardia, and cyanosis after anaesthetic, but the importance of this is unclear. |
