My name's John. I'm an anesthesia resident at the University of Colorado Denver. I created this channel with the hope that anyone learning about anesthesia could have a single reliable and engaging source for anesthesia video content. My goal is to deliver short bits of high yield content to help learners on both exams and in clinical practice.
Believe or not IT does not work on me at all. They have given me high dose for induction and i did nit went to sleep. I felt like stepping into freezing water and was schocked by IT and could not breathe. I felt everything and remember everything. The intubation was painfull but not that much. On the other hand when they put catheter, without painkillers because they were thinking i was asleep the pain was agonizing. Like someone put hot steel rod into my penis and slowly started to tear it apart. My heart rate was sky rocketing. Started shouting do loud and wanted to stand but o was strapped to the table. Could nit see because anasthesiologist put stickers onto my eyes and could not hear because she pit headphones onto my ears. They realized that i am awake and gave me more analgesics. I think i fainted then. Remember when i was "woken up" and every Word they said and the procedure of extubation. Is this normal? I knew that my mind is very powerfull but this?
When I had a hip replacement last year, I don't know how long I was put under, but I had the most amazing dream-hallucination of my life. I was in a realistic cargo spaceship when a klaxon began sounding. I and the other crew immediately entered transporter tubes, then there was an overpowering *WOOOOOOSH!* and when it ended, I was in a wheelchair beside a desk. An older nurse at the desk asked if I knew where I was, and (having been asked that question over and over since the ambulance EMTs picked me up) I recited the street address of the hospital. I told her that the anesthesia was an amazing experience, but she wasn't interested. But then, on the way back to my room, in a dark portion of the corridor, two guys in scrubs approached me and said, "Man, you had Propofool! You gonna be _folked up!_ " "Tell me about it," I replied. "I thought I was in outer space!" "No!" one said. "That shirts gonna mess your mind up for _weeks!_ " I assumed that they were two anesthetists who had been doing Propofol for kicks between surgeries. When I returned to my bed, I found a bill from the hospital covering my time before the surgery. It was for $1,111.11. I assumed that I was still hallucinating, but the bill remained the same. (The total deductible was about $5,000.) Days later, I came to the conclusion that the guys in scrubs who warned me about Propofol's aftereffects were a hallucination. I believe that all the people who have had major surgery and saw themselves entering a long tunnel moving toward a bright light where they saw Jesus or their their late family members were likewise experiencing Propofol hallucinations. I just have a better imagination. Since then, I've spoken to many people who have had Propofol for such things as a colonoscopy or minor eye surgery, and they reported that they experienced no such hallucinations. So was my outer-space dream brought on by Propofol or some other anesthetic agent?
I think it might depend on the duration of anesthesia and adjunct medications such as fentanyl. Colonoscopy patients are only under for 20 minutes on average. I would assume your emergent hip-surgery was likely 2.5 hours and you had some significant analgesics added to the line for the extremely-painful procedure.
I find these videos super helpful and informative for the basics of these types of drugs that are commonly used in the ICU. Hope you would post more like these :)
I have a question. What is my chance of survival if I infuse myself with 3000 mg of propofol at a flow rate of 80 mg/min (the rate I can get from a drip infusion)? I am 100 kg, 187 cm, 45 years old. Thank you.
Thanks for the review. Could you also show a video on dexmedetomidine tapering when people are weened off ventilators? I have helped do this in the past as a nurse, but at the time, this was a very expensive drug and a less commonly used technique.
I had surgery today and when I was given it I had a reaction I never had before. A faint ringing that got louder and louder and louder and gave me a headache till I fell asleep. It’s 13 hours later and I still have a headache.
I had Propofol used on me for a common procedure. Unfortunately, as the drug was being administered into my arm it felt like the fires of hell. Until I went under, I was in extreme pain and in agony. I was screaming that it was burning. Even though I was in pain, the anesthesiologist continued to push it in.
Hey Doc what did she say about the ocular and the ketamine? So listen to this I had a couple grams of ketamine years ago I made it last for about six years. I wear reading glasses to read and I noticed it whenever I would do the ketamine (I would do it maybe once every six months) for a week afterwards I wouldn’t have to wear my reading glasses I could see fine and then slowly my eyes would go back to normal which is screwed up. What do you think that is
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they've got Adderall shrooms ketamine dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs..
How come this is not used as a general anesthetic? if it both got amnesic and analgesic effects? this basically sounds like the ideal anesthetic unless it’s of course not strong enough to induce actual deep Anesthesia? but I’m curious to know if in theory this could be used replacing both propofol and maybe even some of the narcotic painkillers used during surgery simultaneously?
Does not cause deep enough sedation. Patient will wake to stimulation. I use it in anesthesia as an adjunct to opioids and to decrease the amount of volatile anesthetic I give
I asked the anesthesia I could either count back from ten or tell them when I was asleep. They immediately put the mask on me. I guess they didn't want to hear from me any longer. I understand that deep anesthesia is similar to brain death.
They should have explained it to you. Counting backwards is fine if you are only doing IV anesthesia, but if they are placing a breathing tube then they need to get as much oxygen into your system as possible.
it was because of preoxygenation - it means that the anesthesiologist needed to change nitrogen in Your lungs to clear oxygen, it takes about 5-8 minutes to do it right and protect Patient from hipoxia during intubation:) Thank You for Your comment! as a future anesthesiologist I will prepare my Patients for mask ventilation by giving them more information why I do it :)
Hey guys i got the special ketamine both liquid and powder if your interested in getting some pm me Wickr... pillsmethpack Whatsapp...+14062909815 Telegram....+14062909815 I am willing to do a legit buisness without any discomfort.
