I’m really scared so if I’m going to have to be awake for it I might as well be prepared.
depends on you, if you want GA or LA.
I’ve had four surgeries, 2 being awake 2 being asleep. I had jaw surgery and my wisdom teeth removal under general anaesthesia. My question is do they always use a breathing tube for general anaesthesia? And if so, why? Thanks.
Thanks guys =] my throat has always hurt after surgery too so I assumed something was up, lol. How come parents lie about it then?
Absolutely not. I give general anesthetics frequently without an endotracheal tube.
It depends on the patient and the procedure.
For short cases that do not require muscle paralysis, we can use a mask on the face.

The disadvantages of this technique include the possibility of upper airway obstruction, which is common, especially in heavy people, and the fact that it ties up the anesthesiologist’s left hand for the duration of the case.
Another very popular airway technique is the laryngeal mask airway. It’s like a face mask, but it sits in the back of the throat. It overcomes the upper airway obstruction and hands-available issues, but cannot be used if the patient needs to be paralyzed or is at increased risk for aspiration of stomach contents.
It is also possible to give a general anesthetic with only IV medications, and for that, nasal cannula oxygen can be used. That’s what I do for colonoscopies.
Many times we DO use the endotracheal tube, and there are a number of indications for that, but it certainly not used for every general anesthetic.

Liposuction was first developed in the late 1970s to remove undesired fat from nearly all body areas, including the face, neck, chin, breast, abdomen, hips, flanks, (love handles), inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees and ankles. Developed by dermatologic surgeons in the 1980s a major advancement called the tumescent technique of liposuction completely revolutionized the procedure. The use of tumescent liposuction allows dermatologic surgeons to safely and effectively remove deep and superficial layers of fat under local anesthesia with relatively little discomfort, virtually no complications and improved cosmetic results.
Dr. David Amron, a board certified Beverly Hills dermatologic and cosmetic surgeon, is nationally recognized as a specialist in liposuction. His artistic sense, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, consistently achieves outstanding results in sculpturing the body.
Dr. Amron is an outspoken advocate of what he calls pure tumescent liposuction, which is a much safer procedure when compared with liposuction that uses general anesthesia.

i’m pretty sure i have a staph infection…doctor said it was a spider bite but i don’t think so..the wound is opening more and its bloody and there is lots of puss..but the doctor gave me antibiotics and i’ve been taking it for 3 days and its not healing..but the pain is gone. so anyways i’m going to the hospital tonight and if it is a staph infection they will have to operate right? so when they put me under what if i stay awake then get all drugged up? i’m sooo scared for that to happen cuz i think alott so i’m scared my mind will fight it off accidently :S
it’s in an embarrassing place actually..on the buttocks lol :$
They are going to numb the area Just like if you were getting a filling in your teeth. Then they are going to stick a needle inside your infection and push into it some type of fluid. Then they are going to take a knife and cut it open and let it drain. I hope it is not on your face. Saw it on you tube it looks gross.

i have cervical polyps that need to be removed?
will i be awake for this! cause it sounds scary.and i have big anxiety for these kinda things. i dont even get my teeth done at the dentist with out gas mask and im 26 years old. i heard its done in an office? so does that mean im gonna be awake! and see my legs on stirrups as the dr. twist and pulls and cuts a polyp i dont think i like this idea!
i don’t mean to scare ya but I think you’ll be awake for it. I had abnormal tissue burnt from my cervix and was awake for the whole thing. Because I was so scared the doctor did give me a shot of something to calm me down which worked. Hope it goes well. Be brave!! Oh and don’t worry, I am 30 and the biggest chicken about doctors and dentists.
I have seen articles and even TV shows when a patient has "awoken" during surgery and I find things like this really interesting, so I really wanted to know why that happens, does anyone know? Is there any specific reason, or is the chances of it happening increased by certain aspects of life? any information would be appreciated so much! 
thanks everyone 
It’s extremely rare. It happens becaues the anaesthetist makes a dosing error and the patient isn’t asleep enough, but is given enough muscle relaxant to stop them moving.
Get rid of FAT fast, permanent results. Safe! little recovery time! As you see IN OUR LIVE VIDEO, our wonderful patient had a great time in our office.
