  • Can anesthesiologists trach coronavirus patients?

    In answer to your question, anesthesiologists have training in performing emergency tracheostomies as a part of their training, as it is the ultimate treatment for patients who are unable to breathe or receive assistance with ventilation due to “lost airway”. However, it would generally be preferable for a surgeon who does tracheostomies frequently to do this procedure for a coronavirus patient who is to have a long-term tracheostomy. Essentially, you are then having an expert whose skills are current rather than someone who has learned a procedure for emergencies, but may never have done one. Peter Lunt, MD READ MORE

  • How long does it take for general anesthesia to work?

    Dear patient, I am an anesthesiologist. Without knowing more demographic information about you, my answer must be fairly generic. When an agent being used to induce general anesthesia is given intravenously, the time to loss of awareness is fairly rapid, on the order of 10-20 seconds or so. This must also be considered in light of the usual approach to general anesthesia of administering an iv sedative before giving the agent to induce unconsciousness. This process is progressive, and when we use devices to monitor the level of brain activity relating to awareness, we can see that it is not a sudden change such as you might see when turning off a light switch. Instead, there is a progressive drop in cerebral activity over a few seconds to a minute or so. The rate of change depends on both the agent used and the dose administered. Agents which are often used to induce general anesthesia may also be used in continuous infusions for varying degrees of depressed consciousness, and may be used for procedural sedation, such as might be used for endoscopy procedures in gastroenterology (scope examinations, etc). I hope this answers you questiion. READ MORE

  • Is it possible to have local anesthesia for a surgical procedure on my foot?

    In answer to your question, it is possible to have a surgical procedure on the foot with local or regional anesthesia and conscious sedation. However, each situation and each patient is unique, and this would best be discussed with your personal anesthesia provider on the day of surgery. The surgeon should also be advised of your preference prior to surgery. Peter Lunt, MD Anesthesiologist READ MORE
