It is the process of putting the patient to sleep in a hospital environment under the control of an anesthesiologist and waking patients up after the treatment. The general anesthesiologist performs tests on the patient before the procedure and determines the approximate treatment duration. After the treatment, the patient wakes up and is discharged from the hospital the same day and can usually continue his/her routine life the next day.
WHICH TYPES OF PATIENTS IS IT PREFERRED?
- In adults with very high levels of fear and anxiety,
- In mentally and physically disabled children and adults,
- In children who are too young to be treated through persuasion,
- In surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia (bone cyst and bone graft, etc.)
- In patients with very intense nausea and vomiting reflexes,
- Adult patients who prefer to have multiple surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia in a short period of 2-4 hours, which cannot be performed in a single session with local anesthesia.
- In those who are allergic to local anesthetic substance content,
- In cases where local anesthesia alone does not provide adequate analgesia.
