• Hypothermia

  Chills and shivering (hypothermia) – This occurs in up to half of patients as they regain consciousness after surgery, and it might be related to body temperature. [asahq.org]

  Severe hypothermia may result in coagulopathy, delayed awakening, or arrhythmia. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  More likely is the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia due to a combination of four types of heat loss: conductive, convective, evaporative and radiant. [tsaco.bmj.com]

• Vomiting

  This is to prevent you from vomiting while you are under the effect of the anesthesia. Vomiting can cause food in the stomach to be inhaled into the lungs. This can lead to breathing problems. [medlineplus.gov]

  Warriner’s research is focused on the use of blood substitutes in surgical patients, the value of preoperative beta blockers, the reversal of muscle relaxants and the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. ► LECTURIO is your single-point resource [youtube.com]

  Patients given monitored anesthesia rather than general anesthesia experience fewer incidences of nausea and vomiting and typically can be discharged home safely and quickly. The image below depicts intraoral approach for an infraorbital block. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Because of irregular breathing and a risk of vomiting, there is a danger of choking. [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Dermatitis

  A second biopsy without topical anesthetic did not demonstrate a bulla and supported the clinical diagnosis of psoriasiform dermatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  ‘Contact dermatitis in the ear canal can result from almost any local irritant, including topical anti-infective agents and anesthetics and other topical preparations.’ [oxforddictionaries.com]

• Cesarean Section

  She subsequently underwent cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia for failure to progress without sequelae in the mother or infant. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If a cesarean section is needed, stronger anesthetics can be given in the same location, to numb the lower body completely for surgery. If severe complications arise, the anesthesiologist may need to provide a general anesthesia. [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Seizure

  Close attention was directed to cardiac function, seizure, and airway management. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Thiopental also is sometimes used to control convulsions (seizures) caused by certain medicines or seizure disorders. Thiopental may be used to reduce pressure on the brain in certain conditions. [mayoclinic.org]

• Confusion

  Postoperative delirium – Confusion when regaining consciousness after surgery is common, but for some people — particularly older patients — the confusion can come and go for about a week. [asahq.org]

  Other common side effects from the medicine are: Nausea and vomiting Dry mouth Sore throat Hoarse voice Sleepiness Shivering Muscle aches Itching Confusion -- especially in older people Rarely, people can be very confused for a few days after their surgery [webmd.com]

  It can induce a condition known as postoperative delirium, a state of serious confusion and memory loss. [io9.gizmodo.com]

• Amnesia

  Under general anesthesia, the patient is unable to feel pain and may also have amnesia. [medicalnewstoday.com]

  While under general anesthesia, a patient is unable to feel pain and will likely wake with some short-term amnesia (memory loss). Experts are unsure exactly how general anesthetics work. [drugs.com]

  The authors sought to determine whether unconsciousness and amnesia occur when humans develop rigidity and apnea after intravenous fentanyl (without other concomitant anesthetics). [doi.org]

  Since then, doctors have gotten much better at putting us out with drug combinations that ease pain, relax muscles and, in some cases, put us in a deep state of hypnosis that gives us temporary amnesia. [livescience.com]

• Convulsions

  There is wide practice variation in choice of third line therapy for RSE, but there is overall consensus that anesthetics should be initiated earlier in generalized convulsive status epilepticus than in nonconvulsive forms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The results of single-center and multicenter registries and epidemiologic studies complement this information. Between March 2014 and November 2016, 47 separate cases of LAST were described in 35 peer-reviewed articles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In humans, recent preliminary findings from epidemiological studies suggest an association between surgery and anesthesia early in life and subsequent learning abnormalities. [doi.org]

This may have been a chance finding, as analyses did not adjust for multiple endpoints.43 The PANDA study addressed many of the limitations of the previous epidemiologic studies. [fda.gov]

Obstetric and anesthetic management are particularly challenging, and treatment requires knowledge of pathophysiologic mechanisms in order to provide safe care to this group of patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
