Hysteroscopy surgery is a method that many people choose to use to combat infertility, but even after undergoing this surgery, there is inevitably a sense of fear and trepidation because few people have a good understanding of it, and even do not know how long it takes to wake up after general anesthesia. What if it delays other things? So the editor will popularize it for everyone.
How long does it take to wake up from general anesthesia during hysteroscopy examination
1. If it is general anesthesia, it is generally necessary to wake up within 4-6 hours after surgery, stay in the hospital for observation, and pay attention to appropriate rest.
2. If there are other health issues, it may still take some time.
Precautions after hysteroscopy surgery
1. Early activity: Except for high-risk patients, patients can be guided to turn over and move around in bed within 6 hours after surgery. They can then get out of bed and gradually increase their activity levels 6-8 hours later.
2. Pain care: Postoperative patients may experience varying degrees of pain, and instructing them to undergo relaxation surgery can often relieve the pain on their own. If the pain cannot be relieved, analgesics can be given.
3. Observation of urination: Early supervision, guidance, and assistance for patients to urinate. For those who have difficulty urinating, they can be induced to urinate and given catheterization if necessary.
4. Dietary care: After surgery, nutritious soft foods can be consumed to reduce the intake of irritating foods.
5. Routine care: Lie flat on the pillow for 6 hours to avoid premature lifting of the head, which may cause cerebrospinal fluid to leak out of the meningeal cavity from the puncture site, resulting in low cerebral pressure and stretching of intracranial venous sinuses and meninges, causing headaches.
6. Observation of vaginal bleeding: For patients with large surgical wounds and excessive bleeding, a uterine balloon catheter is often placed after surgery, and 8-10ml of physiological saline is injected into the balloon to compress and stop bleeding. After surgery, attention should be paid to observing vaginal bleeding. If there is a large amount of blood flowing out, it should be reported to the doctor in a timely manner and treated according to the doctor's advice. If there are no abnormalities, the intrauterine balloon catheter should be removed 24 hours after surgery
Hysteroscopy surgery is indeed a powerful tool in the fight against infertility, but surgery is not omnipotent. We need to have sufficient understanding of it and know how to deal with the possible sequelae of surgery in order to perform the surgery with peace of mind. In addition, routine care must be taken after the surgery is completed to ensure the health of the body.
