They put you out one of two ways they give you nitrous oxide/oxygen in large amounts mixed with a gas called halothane then ventilate you artificially or they give you an IV with a drug called versed ot pentathol or at least that's what they did ten years ago, when I was in the operating rooms of the Army.

We (paramedics) maintain their airway, determine if they have used other drugs in addition to alcohol, start an IV of D5W, lactated ringers or 9% normal saline depending on the protocol, administer 100mg of thiamine and try to keep a sympathetic point of view. If the patient is conscious and can maintain their airway would possibly induce vomiting with ipecac. Would have to consider the age, weight of the patient and amount consumed if that information were available.

Call the office, or better yet show up at the office, and explain your situation. Do not take "no" for an answer. Be polite, but be firm. If they say "there is nothing we can do", then say, "that's not accpetable". Make sure you highlight the fact that you are worried about the fact that he stops breathing at night - this might make it sound more like an emergency.\n\nThe system is designed to be efficient for doctors, not patients. You must aggressively advocate for your son. Being persistent (but always polite) is the best way to make things happen.\n\nGood luck!

you need to sue, not only for your sake but for creating an awareness. The doctor you sue and also the rest who come to know of it will perform surgery with consciousness. Many are of the opinion that they dont have to worry since they dont lose anything.they tend to think  others problems are trivial. when they know it will hit them too they will come to terms.\nif you need help contact amylawassociates@gmail.com

PLace the gait belt around the patients waist and fasten the belt snuggly.  You should be able to get your hands between the patient and the belt but the belt should not ride up.  If the belt seems to slide up then you don't have it on tight enough.  Place your hands between the belt and the patient and grab onto the belt using the belt to lift the patient up out of the chair, bed or whatever.

Use some analgesic spray and take rest.

A state of unconsciousness at the VERY least.  The only one worse than that would be the Waco wench, Madeline Albright, and in that case unconsciousness would not nearly be enough.

always check peoples pockets for ID or medication cards.........if your gonna put them in the recovery position, always check for needles cause u could get a needle stick injury, and always try and find out if the person has a heart condition because you must never raise the legs of someone with a heart condition and keep the person warm because the body slows down and starts shutting down organs...........but the first role should always in every emergency.........look for danger,,,,,,,then airway....breathing........circulation.......and always phone 999 straight.

If the victim was an adult, I would first check the scene for safety.  If the scene appeared safe, I would tap the victim's shoulder and shout "Are you OK?"  If the victim didn't respond, then I would call 911 or ask someone to do it.  I would attend to the victim by first looking, listening, and feeling for breathing.  If the victim is breathing and has signs of circulation than I would put that person in what is called the "recovery position", which is rolling the victim to his side with the top leg bent at the knee and the top arm bent at the elbow with the hand under the head.  Bottom arm and leg are straight.  If there is no sign of breathing and circulation than I would begin appropriate CPR care.  If the victim were an infant or child, I would do the same thing except if I was alone, I would provide 1 minute of care before calling 911.

I don't know what kind of sedation you mean - there are several kinds.\n\nMild:  Nitrous oxide sedation - this jsut relaxes you but you're conscious\n\nMild to Moderate:  Oral Sedation - this involves taking pills to sedate you prior to the procedure.\n\nModerate:  IV Sedation - this is an IV in your arm and you could be conscious, unconscious, or somewhere in between!\n\nStrong:  General Anesthesia - this is where they have to make sure you have an airway and you are all the way out.\n\nNow, with the IV and General, the same drugs that "knock you out" can depress your central nervous system, blood pressue, heart rate, etc etc.   Obviously, if these systems are depressed too far, the patient will die.   Fortunately for you, your oral surgeon has at least four years of training beyond MY four years of dental school that teaches him all the tricks of advanced life support.  So don't worry!\n\nHowever, MY biggest concern is this:  You're going in TOMORROW and you have no idea what the risks are or if your'e even going to GET sedation???  This is inconceivable to me!   Before they schedule the extraction appointment, they probably did a consult.  The surgeon looks at your xray and decides the degree of difficulty involved and (should) explain the risks of the procedures as well as your options in  terms of anesthetic and sedation, including all risks of these procedures.  I've NEVER heard of anyone saying, "Oh, just decide the day of and we'll explain the risks then."\n\nThe fact that you're even asking the question has me a little concerned, unless they already went over all that and maybe you just weren't paying attention or you didn't read the consent form they should provide OR maybe just lost the paper...??\n\nAnyway, good luck.  Sedation is better and easier than not, esp if your'e well insured!

Having gone through this - it's a matter of 'retraining' the brain to understand that Bed is for sleeping !\n\nIf you can't get to sleep within about 15 mins., get up, go to another room, have a cuppa, read a book (don't watch TV) until the eyes start feeling tired.\nGo back to bed, take a few deep breaths and relax.\n\nRepeat as required, which may take several nights.\nThe important thing is not to lie in bed Trying to get to sleep, get up and start again.\n\n8 out of 10 people suffer from lack of sleep - 3 out of 4 post- operative patients suffer from this!\n\nIt's important not to stimulate the brain before bedtime - stop watching TV an hour before going to bed - don't have alcohol/coffee/cola or anything with caffeine in it - try to empty your mind of the days activities.

Under anaesthesia ,\nall voluntary and involuntary muscles relax .\n So you may well  become incontinent  at this time .\n\n also while  you are under anaesthesia, your  tongue  falls back and blocks the  air-way  and your cough reflex does not work either \n so you would  choke or drown , without expert care ..\n\n That is why you  will always have, highly trained staff  there to keep your airway clear. etc \n\nIf you have any concerns, regarding anaesthesia , tell the Surgeon before  you have surgery, to explain, what is done, for your care and safety .\n\n>^,,^<

You say "No, I can't leave you. I'm afraid for your well being. If you wont let me in to talk with you, I will have to call the authorities. "Offer to take the person to an emergency room for help. If this is someone alone, you mustn't leave them, call police. They are trained for this. If the person will let you, take them to an emergency room. Often if you can distract the person through the night, things look clearer to them in the morning.

There are many medical support groups. You may also choose to turn to a psychologist or perhaps even to a religious leader in your community. You may choose to talk to your doctor or a nurse in more detail in order to reassure yourself more about the surgery, and there is always prayer.

Perhaps you could ask your dentist/dental surgeon (or with whomever you're consulting) if a drug called Versed (usually administered by IV) would be appropriate in your case.  It allows the patient to remain conscious, but creates a temporary amnesia, thereby eliminating any memory of the procedure.
