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. Pulmonary Resection At The Center for Lung & Chest Surgery::

I recently had knee surgery about a month ago and the surgeon said it was standard for an anesthetic (with the anesthesia that puts you COMPLETELY asleep) surgery patient to have the breathing tube.
There is a different type of anesthesia called "saddle block" which only paralyzes you from your waist down. No mask is required during that type of surgery.
Yes, they do and the reason is to keep the airway open and easily accessible. Interscalene Block::
File Format: Microsoft Word - View as HTMLYou will not likely remember the breathing tube, except that once you are fully words only (without pointing or gesturing) so that you do not move your body. (The position of your body during surgery necessitates the use of general as before the block, but they have no difficulty coughing or breathing.

I imagine so, I've had over 20 surgeries due to spina bifida and hydrocephalus and every time they used one just to make sure your body gets the oxygen it needs, Anesthesia can complicate the body breathing well on its own. Anesthesia FAQs | Kaiser Santa Rosa::

The anesthesia should always last longer than the procedure. However, if you do receive succinylcholine again you are likely to have the same muscle soreness. . The cause is irritation of the back of the throat by the breathing tube that was Hair dressers, when they see patients who have had surgery,

yes because history shows people can die and breathing tube give pure oxygen
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.
Under general anaesthesia they do, because a person's nervous system is suspended to a degree that makes a person incapable of breathing 100% on their own. So many muscles contribute to a person's being able to breathe. Under anaesthesia, muscles relax, including airways, the tongue, and possibly the diaphragm.
Yes it is as the drugs they give you repress your breathing so they need to be able to help you out.
Sometimes it pokes into ones anus!
 Heres my question?
 Why would someone get bored with doing IT for 10 years?
