GENEL ANESTEZİ ve SEDASYON

What is Anesthesia?

Generally, before anesthesia, surgery or any surgical intervention, it means the temporary destruction of the sensation (sensation) in the whole or a certain part of the body of humans and animals. There are 4 types of anesthesia applied for a specific and specific purpose. obstacles. Regardless of the type of anesthesia, its effect on the nervous system in the area it affects is limited by the duration of action of the drug used. It does not have a permanent effect on the nervous system and its cells. Patients undergoing any surgical procedure need one of different anesthesia methods.

Regional Anesthesia (Regional)

Local anesthetics are given around a nerve or around the spinal cord as in spinal or epidural anesthesia. In this method, neural conduction is stopped with the effect of local anesthetics. Only a certain part of the body is anesthetized without affecting the patient’s consciousness level. With regional anesthesia, a single foot, a leg, a wire arm or a part of the jaws are numbed.

Local (local) Anesthesia

It creates a temporary sensation (numbness) only in the area of ​​the body to be treated. Pain in that area is prevented. It is most commonly used for painless surgical and dental treatment procedures in the mouth.

Sedation

It is used to make the patient relax and calm down by creating a sleep state. Consciousness is clear, there is temporary memory loss. It is generally used to support local and regional anesthesia. In addition, if it is to be applied to patients, sedation applications before interventional methods make the work of both the patient and the surgeon much easier. For example, sedating the patient before the extraction of an impacted tooth relieves the patient’s fears and concerns and the patient and the physician are comfortable during the surgical procedure. Many patients can undergo surgical procedures by “numbing” the area using local anesthesia. IV (intravenous, intravenous drug administration) sedation is recommended for patients who want to be put to sleep and thus be unaware of the surgical intervention.

While the images of the captured x-ray can be seen on the computer screen instantly, desired color settings, enlargement-reduction processes and measurements can be made on these images. In this technique, the radiation rate to which the patient is exposed has also been significantly reduced. In addition, it is an important advantage that the images can be stored in the patient file on the computer or shared on the internet when necessary.

Computed Tomography (CT, CT):

It is a three-dimensional tomographic imaging technique used in cases where traditional intraoral and extraoral imaging techniques are inadequate, such as large cysts, tumors and cases where multiple implant applications are planned. Unlike other two-dimensional techniques, transverse sections can also be taken from the mouth area in this method, and thus the neighborhoods of teeth or pathological formations with the surrounding tissues can be examined in 3 planes. Especially in cases where a large number of implants are to be applied, the bone thickness in the horizontal direction, the locations of the sinus cavities and the path of the vessels and nerves can be determined precisely. Another advantage of this method is that it can be used in combination with the rapid prototyping method to prepare working models or guide plates belonging to the desired regions before surgical work. In this way, the risk of surgical procedures is minimized.
