Getting Over Going Under 5 Things You Must Know Before Anesthesia
The most disastrous complications from 20th century anesthesia (delirium, dementia and death), a higher risk for patients over 50, as well the unpleasant side effects (postoperative nausea and vomiting and narcotic-requiring pain) can be reduced or eliminated by the use of a simple, easily obtainable machine to monitor your brain waves during surgery. Learn the questions to ask your doctor BEFORE going under and what to say to demand the best care during surgery. Only YOU can make sure of awakening as the same person you were before anesthesia.
Relying on vital signs to guide anesthesia dosing invariably results in the routine practice of anesthesia over-medication for fear of under-medication. Vital signs alone are now discredited as notoriously unreliable guides to brain response under anesthesia.
Getting Over Going Under will explains the importance of a brain monitor and how to go about making sure it is used whenever you âgo underâ anesthesia. Directly measuring the brainâs response to anesthetic assures that you will not get too much or too little but always the right amount (aka Goldilocks Anesthesia) for your individual sensitivity.
Dr. Friedbergâs Method of intravenous anesthesia is the use of propofol and ketamine in conjunction with brain monitoring. So safe is this regimen that the US military is using it on wounded Coalition soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The use of a brain monitor would have prevented the death of Michael Jackson form inadvertent over-medication with propofol. The brain monitor could differentiate the level of effect of propofol from the other benzodiazepine class of drugs in his system.
As either a patient, doctor or facility administrator, you will learn how to address the patients three main concerns: waking up as the same person that went under anesthesia, avoiding postoperative nausea and vomiting and vomiting, and avoiding having oneâs brain bombarded with pain signals under anesthesia.
