ANAESTHESIA
1. INTRODUCTION
Surgical treatment of disease requires gaining access to deeper
tissues through the skin.
* The skin being a sensitive organ, is well provided with
sensory nerves.
* Thus,it becomes important to interrupt the sensory
pathways of skin and deeper tissues (anaesthesia)if
surgical treatment is to be given.
* There are essentially two primary modes of rendering a
patient insensitive to pain while undergoing surgical
procedure:
- General anaesthesia (central nervous system depression)
- Regional anaesthesia (local anaesthetic agents).
2. PRE-ANAESTHETIC EVALUATION
1. A thorough clinical examination of the patient is essential
to establish the health status of the patient.
2. To detect the effects of the disease process for which he is
undergoing the surgical procedure.
3. To detect any inter-current disease that he/she might be
suffering from.
