  • Is local anesthesia for hand surgery safe?

  • Is general anesthesia safe if you have asthma?

  • Pain medication?

    I’m so sorry for the challenge in your time of need. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone in that region, but I might suggest having an open mind to any applicable regional non-opioid treatment options and alternative opioid analgesic therapies (buprenorphine, ketamine) while on your search for a new provider. The nearest academic hospital should also have a pain management department as a resource. Wishing you the best of luck. READ MORE

  • Can you have hernia surgery without anesthesia?

    Unfortunately, no. Hernia repairs cannot be done in an office setting, or without anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Is general anesthesia given through an IV?

    Hi, Induction of general anesthesia is typically administered via intravenous lines. General anesthesia is then be maintained via inhalational anesthesia gases, or sometimes via IV (total intravenous anesthesia), depending on individual patient and/or surgical procedure requirements. Best regards, CVK READ MORE

  • Can anesthesia cause shaking?

    Yes, it can. As anesthesia works on the central nervous system, it affects the hypothalamus. Upon emergence from anesthesia, the hypothalamus awakens and can cause patients to shiver in the recovery room. Hope that answers your question. Best regards, CVK READ MORE

  • Are you put to sleep for neck surgery?

    Yes, you will require general anesthesia for cervical surgery. READ MORE
