Aspect Medical Systems Provides Anesthesia Awareness Patient

[TheCrazy243]

I had 3 general anesthesia I was unconscious but nothing happen to me.

[RachaelBieber97]

I was thinking about the movie Awake this entire time. 

[mnap128]

fuck surgery all you need is whole foods and a chiropractor!

[mairs20]

im writing a story about anesthesia awareness

[somevideopersondude]

dude they put me this today. it felt weird all over my body when they put the anesthesia in my IV and and my eyes became super heavy, and i only remember putting the oxygen mask and the anesthesia affecting my body. then i woke up an hour later....

[lookman373]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa o fuck

[RaymunJai]

kinda scary. If you had a big operation, could you die from the pain?

[bigchris520]

@RaymunJai i dont kno much.just as clueless as u are but im thinking maybe u could go into shock or hav a heart attack from high heart rate?

[gnrisinmyblood1]

@RaymunJai you cant die from just pain, its loss of blood, torn organs and those things that kill you

[RainbowManification]

@RaymunJai No put psychological scaring can occur, which is why doctors have malpractice insurance.

[JazyGirl26]

@RaymunJai i don't think you can die from it, but it'd be terrible

[blaalbblaalb111]

@RaymunJai You can pass out from pain, I don't think you can die from it though.

oh my godness!..

Anonohio's comment about the incidence of intraoperative awareness is only off by a factor of about 500. The true rate in the US is one to two per 1,000 anesthetics. (Sebel et al Anesthesia and Analgesia 2004)

[Anonohio]

@ jacobkln: We just trialed the BIS. It was interesting to note that the reps selling point to us was that we could use LESS anesthesia, and therefore save money, because we could "see" where the patient was at. quite a bit different than the line they're selling the public.

Oh, as far as the incidence - Morgan/Mikhail, Barash, Stoelting (who have all put out anesthesia bibles) all put awareness at 1:250k. take that how you will. MAC cases don't count, I'm sorry.

[Anonohio]

Oh, one more thing. Aspect has put out a few studies saying that anesthetists actually use TOO much anesthesia, to back up their selling point (like i mentioned below). Bottom line: they're trying to sell a product, and they're telling their 2 target consumer groups 2 different lines.

[thegame245]

ive went through something similar which is sleep paralyisis and sometimes when im going through it i think to myself man if i was going through surgery right now and couldnt move but i was aware it would suck big time

[Anonohio]

...........oooook: anesthesia awareness is almost unheard of EXCEPT in 2 situations:

1) emergency c-sections

2) emergency traumas

in both those cases to put the patient under too deep might kill them, thus there is a higher incidence of awareness

in general surgery, i believe it's somewhere in the range of 1:300,000

in other words, insanely unlikely.

educate yourselves, people. don't get your facts from hollywood.

[Bostonbob3]

But BIS is about a more than just awareness. The goal is to give the patient the optimal dose of anesthesia; not too much (which can lead to extended PACU time and vomiting and such), or too little (which isn't good for obvious reasons).

Not saying BIS is the end all and be-all, but it can be a very valuable tool.

[charlieking100]

thank god its invented... i saw the movie "Awake" and was astonished to find out that this is a real phenomenon ... and i was concerned but this is good stuff....

[dravidfan9]

how can anesthisia kill u....n if it does wht do u do in surgeries??

[dravidfan9]

this is not crazy....its true...n theres a movie based on it....watch it its called awake

this phnomena freaks me out....man its kinda scary but im pretty sure im not one of them

hopefulyy...

[hahadillonsface66]

they can't give me regular anastesia or else it will kill me

[HOPESHADOW17]

when I was 6 or 7 I was under Anesthesia only once cause I was getting 2 front teeth pulled out at the Children's Hospital and I was hurting a lot during my stay in the recovery room

[mbw0121]

I've seen a brain dead patient with a BIS of 55! Not a very reliable tool but nice to have.

[1992peter]

BIS monitors are decreasing this chance and they are also decreasing the events.

BIS.

BIS!
