Definition
• General anesthesia is described as a reversible state of unconsciousness with inability to respond to a standardized surgical stimulus.
• In modern anesthetic practice it involves a triad of unconsciousness analgesia and muscle relaxation .

Brief history
General anesthetics have been performed since 1846 when Morton demonstrated the first anesthetic (using ether) in Boston, USA. Local anesthetics arrived later, the first being scientifically described in1884.

Difference b/w GA, LA and Conscious sedation.
General Anesthesia Local Anesthesia Conscious Sedation
A drug-induced loss of consciousness during which patients are not arousable, even by painful stimulation. The ability to independently maintain ventilatory function is often impaired. Patients often require assistance in maintaining a patent airway.
The elimination of sensation, especially pain, in one part of the body by the topical application or regional injection of a drug.
A minimally depressed level of consciousness that retains the patient’s ability to independently and continuously maintain an airway and respond appropriately to physical stimulation or verbal command and that is produced by a pharmacological or non-pharmacological method or a combination thereof.

Induction techniques
• Intravenous: the most common method ( with thiopentone, propofol, ketamine etc.)
• Inhalation: for special pt (as pt with difficult airway, pediatric pt)
• Intramuscular :rarely used, only used in uncooperative pts and young children
![Page 18: Conduct of general anesthesia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/58765c091a28abc5268b4ba5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Emergence
• Turn off the agent (inhalation or IV agents)• Reverse the muscle relaxants• Return to spontaneous ventilation with
adequate ventilation and oxygenation • Suction upper airway• Wait for pts to wake up and follow command• Hemodynamically stable

Postoperative management
• Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) - Oxygen supplement - Pain control - Nausea and vomiting - Hypertension and hypotension
- Agitation • Surgical intensive care unit (SICU) - Mechanical ventilation - Hemodynamic monitoring

Advantages of general anesthesia1. Patients cooperation in not absolutely
essential for the success of GA.2. Patient is unconscious.3. Patient does not respond to pain.4. Amnesia is present.5. GA may be the only technique that will prove
successful for certain patients.6. Rapid onset of action.7. Titration is possible.
![Page 31: Conduct of general anesthesia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/58765c091a28abc5268b4ba5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Disadvantages of general anesthesia1. The patient is unconscious.2. Protective reflexes are depressed.3. Vital sign are depressed.4. Advanced training is required.5. An ‘‘anaesthesia team’’ is required.6. Special equipment is required wherever general
anaesthesia.7. A recovery area must be available for the patient.8. Intaoperative complications are more likely to occur
during general anaesthesia than during conscious sedation.
![Page 32: Conduct of general anesthesia](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062904/58765c091a28abc5268b4ba5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
9. Postanesthetic complications are more common following general anaesthesia than after conscious sedation
10. The patient receiving general anaesthesia must receive nothing by mouth for 6 hours before the procedure.
11. Patients receiving general anaesthesia must be evaluated more extensively preoperatively than patients receiving conscious sedation.

Contraindications for general anesthesia1. Lack of adequate training by the doctor.2. Lack of adequate trained personnel.3. Lack of adequate equipment.4. Lack of adequate facilities.5. ASA IV and certain ASA III medically
compromised patients.

Indications for general anesthesia1. Extreme anxiety and fear.2. Adults or children who have mental or
physical disabilities, senile patients, or disoriented patients.
3. Age-infants and children.4. Short, traumatic procedures.5. Prolonged traumatic procedures.
