Important Information On Endoscopic Anesthesia

By Jeffrey Martin


An endoscopic operation is conducted when a patient is in a sleepy state. To achieve the state, a drug must be injected into the body by a medical doctor to ensure that the operating surgeon doing the gastrointestinal endoscopy has an easy time. In most cases, endoscopic anesthesia is injected to make a patient comfortable during the operation.

The drug is administered to sedate the patient thus ensuring a painless procedure. The procedures can also be done with less sedative medication, but it all depends with the patient as some request the practitioner to administer more sedative drugs, however, this comes at an extra cost. The dosage of the anesthesia depends on the patients sedation need during the operation procedures but with the help of the medical practitioner.

Most of the gastrointestinal operations conducted become complicated. To reduce complications, doctors are working with anesthesiologists to ensure that the patient is adequately sedated to make the procedure swift. Anesthetic drugs usually are used with the aim of making the operation efficiency and ensuring that the patient does not remember the events of the operation which can be daunting.

The sedation created by the medication during the procedure differs. The common sedation includes general, moderate, and minimal states of being. Centuries ago, medical practitioners did not administer any form sedation during surgery. In situations where doctors administer mild sedation, it was noted that patients cardiovascular and system worked like normal and could respond to oral or tactile provocation.

The cells of the body cannot be aroused but a patient can respond if painful stimulation is frequently done. If the sedative drugs are used the patient deeply may be unable to breathe, and this would require him to have an air support system. In a situation where the anesthesia used is general it affects the patient cardiovascular system, and in most instances, he cannot give a response to pain stimulation.

The drugs being used during the procedure requires proper titration. The medical practitioner doing the titration should ensure that he has the right measures to avoid giving the patient an overdose which may cause fatalities. Pharmacological knowledge is essential for the success of the titration processes. Every person has a different response to sedatives. Before doing the endoscopy the surgeon can assess the individual response to give the right amount of anesthetic drug.

The medical practitioner should examine the drug mixture ration before conducting the endoscopy procedures to ensure the right amount is administered and that it is in line with the patient body stimuli response ability. Before conducting the procedure the doctor should open up to the patient about the drug. The practitioners should give information on the pros of the drug, the cons, the risks, and uncertainties and side effects.

It is not advisable to take fluids or foods before you go for the gastrointestinal procedure. Avoiding foods ensures that the way is not clogged. A clear tract is easy to operate and after the procedure, you will have got permanent treatment and the problem that you were having cannot arise again.
