(“How to Prepare for a Career in Anesthesiology”.) What types of anesthesia are there? There are actually different and various types of anesthesia. The anesthesia the patient receives will depend on the type of surgery the patient is receiving and their medical condition. Different types of anesthesia include local, regional, and general anesthesia. Local anesthetics are given to temporarily stop the sense of pain in a particular part of the body. Patients stay

What is anesthesiology? Breaking this word down will help define it, that way it is easier to understand. In medical terms, the word anesthesiology is constructed of three different words, each having a specific definition: ‘an’ is defined as “being without, or the absence”; ‘esthesia’ means “feeling”; and ‘ology’ is defined as “the study of.” So when these three words are constructed together it is defined as “the study of the absence of feeling.” Knowing that definition of anesthesiology is one

Within this essay I will write about elderly patients, undergoing cataract surgery, as a particular vulnerable client group. The local Health Board (2014) define cataracts as the clouding of the lens, occurring as a natural part of the ageing process, preventing light from adequately reaching the retina and therefore having an effect on vision. This can be corrected through the surgical process of Phacoemulsification, through which the clouded portions of the lens are removed and replaced with an

Spending as much time as I did looking in the mirror, I thought I knew what I looked like. So it came as a shock one afternoon toward the end of summer when I went shopping with my mother for a new shirt and saw my face in the harsh fluorescent light of the fitting room. Pulling the new shirt on over my head, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a mirror that was itself being reflected in a mirror opposite, reversing my face as I usually saw it. I stood there motionless, the shirt only halfway

left in the season, I entered his office with the notion that he would release me for play again. He looked at the x-rays and did his usual examination. Once completed, he said “I know you want to play, but one bump the wrong way and we’ll be in surgery.” He glanced at my mom and said “If you were my daughter I wouldn’t let you play the rest of the season.” While I respected his opinion, I did not like it. I knew there was no way my parents would not follow the physician’s advice. My season

The importance of surgery Surgical conditions are common and account for a significant portion of the global disease burden. “The term surgical condition refers to any condition that requires incision, excision, manipulation, suture, or other invasive procedure that usually, but not always, requires anesthesia.” (4) However, this term is not limited to patients upon whom an incision is made or is to be made. Surgical conditions cut across various groups or classes of disease ranging from communicable

1.1 Anesthetics are used in surgeries to give a patient the ease of undergoing procedures without the feeling of any pain. The patient themselves undergoes a loss of consciousness when administered with anesthetic, and the extent of which, whether the patient is conscious or not, is dependent on the type of anesthetic and the method. There is a local anesthetic, which is used to numb a specific part of the body, by inserting the anesthetic drug into the surrounding area of where a medical procedure

CRNA’s care for patients before, during and after a medical or surgery by doing a patient assessment , preparing the patient for anesthesia, they must maintain the anesthesia throughout the whole procedure to secure the proper sedation, and pain management, and as a CRNA they must make sure the patient recovers from

When someone hears the word infection the first thing that comes to mind is not Osteomyelitis because many people don’t know what it is. Osteomyelitis is rare but serious infection that occurs in bones. Children and adults can contract the infection but people with diabetes have an increased risk. Osteomyelitis comes in different forms depending if it caught early on or if it has been present for a long period of time. Various treatments are available for the infections as well as different prevention

Civil War Technologies The Civil War was an extremely important time of crisis for our country that 620,000 soldiers were slaughtered in. This number is the highest in the history of any American war. Most people believe those soldiers died of gunshot wounds or amputations, but most of them without fatal wounds died from diseases that they had never before been exposed to. Two times the amount of troops died from these diseases than those were killed in battle. These diseases were caused because
