Monitoring Organ Systems in Anesthetics and Intensive Care

Description

General anesthesia, as opposed to sleep, is effectively a medically induced coma. Drugs cause a patient to become unresponsive and unconscious. They are usually given intravenously (IV) or breathed. The patient is unable to feel pain and may have forgetfulness while under general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist, a specially trained doctor or nurse who will also monitor a patient's vital signs and rate of breathing during the treatment, will deliver the medicines. Since 1842, when Crawford Long injected diethyl ether to a patient and conducted the first painless operation, general anesthetics have been widely utilised in surgery. In this book, we discussed a variety of issues, including the probable side effects of general anaesthesia, related dangers, and some beliefs about how they work.
