Inhalation anesthesia for up to one hour
Inhalation Anesthesia Up to One Hour is a general anesthesia procedure in which anesthetic medications are administered via inhalation, typically through a mask or a tube connected to an anesthesia machine. This method is used for short surgical procedures or interventions that do not require prolonged anesthesia.
Procedure Details
Type of Anesthetic: The substances used in inhalation anesthesia include volatile agents such as sevoflurane or desflurane, which act quickly and allow precise control over the depth of anesthesia.
Monitoring: The patient is carefully monitored during the procedure to assess vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation).
Quick Recovery: Due to the short duration, the patient can wake up more quickly and may have a shorter recovery time compared to longer anesthesia procedures.
Advantages
- Increased safety for short procedures
- Controlled depth of anesthesia and the ability to adjust it rapidly, which helps reduce the risks associated with prolonged anesthesia
