Nowadays, medical equipment is becoming increasingly advanced and intelligent, and doctors can use instruments such as hysteroscopes to clearly see patient lesions and perform surgeries. Many patients may not be familiar with hysteroscopy, which is an instrument used for the diagnosis and surgery of gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids and infertility. So, is hysteroscopy surgery under general anesthesia?
Is hysteroscopy surgery under general anesthesia
At present, in clinical practice, intravenous anesthesia is mostly used as general anesthesia for hysteroscopic surgery. Due to the pain caused by pulling the cervix during hysteroscopic surgery and exploring the uterine cavity, painless intervention by the anesthesiologist is necessary. Because hysteroscopic surgery does not require high muscle relaxation and the pain stimulation is not particularly severe. So in clinical practice, rapid intravenous general anesthesia is often chosen, that is, by selecting a drug with fast metabolism, quick recovery, and quick onset of action, to achieve a state of intravenous general anesthesia that preserves the patient's spontaneous breathing.
Precautions after hysteroscopy surgery
1. Within 6 hours after surgery, adopt a supine position with the head turned to one side to prevent vomit from being inhaled into the trachea;
2. Since most patients have no pain after surgery, do not ignore massaging the patient's waist and legs. Flip the patient over every half hour to promote blood circulation and prevent bedsores from occurring;
3. After the liquid infusion is completed on the same day, the urinary catheter can be removed and the patient is encouraged to get out of bed and move around;
4. Six hours after the operation, the patient can be fed a small amount of liquid diet, such as thin rice soup, noodle soup, etc. Do not give patients sugary drinks such as sweet milk, soy milk powder, etc;
5. The incision of laparoscopic surgery is only 1 centimeter, so the abdominal dressing can be removed after one week and showered, and then normal activities can be gradually restored. A week ago, it was still important to pay attention to appropriate and light activities to help the body recover as soon as possible.
Most hysteroscopic surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, and it is recommended that patients choose a reputable hospital for this procedure. Because hysteroscopic surgery may result in uterine perforation due to the operator's lack of experience. It is also possible that the surgical incision is too deep, causing excessive bleeding and posing a serious threat to the patient's physical health. At the same time, attention should be paid to reducing the incidence of infection.
