Anesthesia drug protocols
Anesthesia drug protocols are carefully structured plans that outline how anesthetic medications are administered during surgery or medical procedures. These protocols consider the patient's health, the type of surgery, and the desired level of sedation. Common types of anesthesia include general (total unconsciousness), regional (numbness in a specific area), and local (targeted numbing). Anesthesiologists monitor patients closely, adjusting medications as needed to ensure comfort and safety throughout the procedure. The goal is to minimize pain and anxiety while maintaining vital functions, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
