What are the modern techniques used for anaesthesia?

Various anaesthesia techniques

• Induction or falling asleep. Carried out by intravenous injection or by gas inhalation.
• Maintenance (during the surgical procedure) Carried out by intermittent or continuous administration of gas (halogenated) agents and/or intravenous agents.
• Emergence or waking up.

What is the latest anesthetic?

The Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a new drug application for propofol injectable emulsion, an intravenous general anesthetic and sedation drug in short supply.

What are the latest trends in the anesthesia field?

An aging population, an increased volume of surgery, and an increased demand for anesthesia personnel. As the baby boomers age, there will be an increased number of surgeries on older, sicker patients. Anesthesia personnel will be in great demand. Anesthesiology will become more and more a shift-work job.

What is the fastest acting anesthesia?

Sevoflurane is a sweet-smelling, nonflammable, highly fluorinated methyl isopropyl ether used as an inhalational anaesthetic for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. After desflurane, it is the volatile anesthetic with the fastest onset.

Will AI take over anesthesiology?

The good news for procedural physicians such as anesthesiologists or surgeons is this: it’s unlikely any AI computer or robot will be able to independently replace the manual skills such as airway management, endotracheal intubation, or surgical excision.

How will technology change anesthesiology in the future?

Fast technological advancement has been a big disruptor in many fields, including anesthesiology. Introducing and integrating newly developed technologies has helped anesthesia providers automate some management tasks, remotely monitor cases, improve patient care, and lessen financial oversight.

What is the most common anaesthetic method?

The most common are spinal, epidural and plexus block anaesthesia.

Why is propofol white?

Newer generic formulations contain sodium metabisulfite or benzyl alcohol as antimicrobial agents. Propofol emulsion is a highly opaque white fluid due to the scattering of light from the tiny (about 150-nm) oil droplets it contains: Tyndall Effect.

What does TIVA mean in anesthesia?

Infusion therapy with fluid and volume replacement solutions Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is a technique of general anesthesia which uses a combination of agents given via syringe pump exclusively by the intravenous route without the use of inhalation agents (Gas Anesthesia).

How can we improve quality and value in anesthesia care?

Along with technological innovation, social engineering and the constructs of efficient business will help increase quality and value in anesthesia care. Increasingly intricate synthesis of the incredible quantity and breadth of health system and patient metrics will inform this process.

Is the future of anesthesia already here?

As William Gibson famously began to note in the mid 1990’s 26, “The future is already here – It’s just not very evenly distributed”. The delivery of anesthesia, its preoperative assessments, and postoperative care vary by health system, resource setting, and society.
