First time having surgery
    #22039889 - 08/03/15 09:20 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I got shot in the hand by a high powered .22cal pellet gun the other day and the pellet imbedded right in the metacarpal very deep and expanded inside the bone which has all my fingers almost completely paralyzed for now. So I'm going to have surgery the first time in my life in a couple days to have it removed so I'm kinda nervous about the whole idea of anesthesia  and I was just wondering what type of anesthetic they would use and just want a general idea of what I should  expect.

woah do you mind me asking how it happened? I had surgery this summer for the first time on my ACL. After they put the anesthetic in I pretty much went right to sleep and when I woke up I didn't even know I had the surgery

It's one of those break barrel pellet guns and I was loading it and had it by the end to push it back up and as soon as I did it just went off. I had the safety on and my finger was nowhere near the trigger, I'm going to report it to the company.

general anesthesia? for something in your hand? they're gonna push your dirt button, probably film it. avoid a career in politics





































but really, same as the above poster. they'll ask you how much pain you're in as you're coming out of it. don't wear a tiedye and grit your teeth, suck in, and say 8, you can get plenty of pills to eat, sell, or trade.

try to remember to start grimacing as soon as you wake up

I'm on hydrocodone right now and I'm going through a ton of it, it's still hurting extremely bad but I can handle it. They said I'd be getting something a lot stronger after the surgery so that's something to look forward to I guess.

Pretty sure you can choose if you want local or general anesthesia, locals are tedious but generals are kinda fun. Get needled, go to sleep, wake up and get sandwiches =D

The worst part is the needle but it's no worse than pinching yourself. It's weird though because sometimes they give you electrolytes before a general anesthetic which makes your whole arm cold from the inside. (smells peachy too)

I think if I have a choice  I'll go with general, local isn't really that effective on me they had to give me a shot of it at the ER just to clean my hand out.

If local anaesthetic is used, it is likely to be of the bier block type.  This involves a pressurized cuff (similar to a blood pressure cuff) placed around your arm, and a large dose of prilocaine or lidocaine injected intravenously together with an opioid such as fentanyl.  The cuff halts circulation to the limb, allowing the anaesthetic to perfuse evenly throughout the operative area where it prevents peripheral nerve transmission to the spinal cord. You may also receive midazolam to tranquillize you during the procedure.

General anaesthesia incorporates a gas, intravenous injection, or both.  Sevoflurane is the most widely used gaseous general anaesthetic.  It has a quick onset and a short duration, allowing for a speedier recovery time.  Owing to concerns about its potential neurotoxicity, wherever possible sevoflurane is now commonly used only to initiate anaesthesia, which is then maintained by an intravenous propofol drip.  Etomidate may be used instead of propofol in your case.

Speaking personally, I would prefer the general anaesthesia.  As has been mentioned, local anaesthesia is cumbersome, and leaves you awake and aware that somebody is cutting a hole in your hand and placing steel instruments inside.  With general anaesthesia, it is as though the entire experience is flatly deleted from your life: they have you count backwards from ten, and before you get to 5 you suddenly find yourself in a dimly lit recovery room surrounded by sexually interesting nurses and feeling like a hefty bag full of Jello.  It is a thoroughly strange experience which transitions smoothly to the high powered narcotics setting in shortly thereafter.

If you do receive general anaesthesia, you can play a fun game with it.  The very last thing you think of before you go under will be the first thing you think of when you wake up.  You can use this to mess with the recovery nurses by thinking to yourself "Stop touching me there, doctor!" immediately before you go under.  When you wake up, this will be the first thing you say, and it will seem as though the surgeon was molesting you.  If tampering with the reputations of medical professionals for your private amusement doesn't sit well with your ethics, you can instead think of making a funny face, meowing like a cat, "Mom, Dad, don't hate me because I'm gay", or any number of silly things.  Tons of fun!

They were able to use local and your right they did use fentanyl but I wasn't  really aware I was having surgery til they were done cause they gave me some kinda great sedative that made me pass out almost as soon as I got in the OR. The stitches are really itchy and annoying but the Percocet helps that a lot.

An anti-inflammatory (dexamethasone), two narcotic painkillers (hydromorphone, fentanyl), a general anaesthetic (propofol), an anti-emetic (ondansetron), a tranquillizer/amnesic (midazolam), and a broad spectrum antibiotic.  Lots of fun stuff in there!

When I had my wisdom teeth out, I received sevoflurane, propofol, hydromorphone, and a script for hydrocodone afterward.  They had to dislocate my jaw to get the bastards out.  I remember when I woke up, I was suddenly overcome with grief over a friend who'd lost his father in a car accident the previous week, and had to be calmed down because of the despondent wailing I collapsed into.  I didn't know where I was or that I'd just had surgery; all I could think about was the tragedy that befell poor Mikey.  It had crossed my mind right before they put me under.

When I was four years old, I woke up during an operation.  The anaesthesiologist had to ease up on the gas because my breathing was becoming dangerously shallow, and as a result I regained consciousness.  I remember the blazing operating room lights, a searing pain unlike anything since, screaming, someone behind me yelling "OH SHIT!", and then the whole experience abruptly dematerialized.  Years later my mother told me that security had to restrain her as she tried to force her way into the room.  I can't say for certain, but I think they switched to ketamine, because I vaguely remember some really trippy shit happening as I came around in the recovery room.

I was looking forward to trying propofol, but I don't remember anything other than it was weird. I want it for my next colonoscopy. :smile:

I took it once or twice still didn't get to sleep easily but had some really trippy dreams. I've tried it Ativan, Ambien, mirtazapine, trazadone and I don't remember the name of it but it makes you go to sleep by making your blood pressure drop really quickly and I think it starts with a c. None of em seem to work that well or give me a bad hangover. Any recommendations?
