Every patient who has surgery requires some kind of anesthesia. There are three types of anesthesia: local, regional, and general. For local anesthesia, drugs that block nerve conduction (local anesthetics) are injected immediately around the site of surgery before and during the surgical procedure. Local anesthesia is often provided by surgeons without anesthetists present, but when patients have diseases that need to be monitored, when they may require carefully managed sedation, or when a more extensive operation might ensue necessitating general anesthesia, an anesthetist is asked to conduct monitored anesthesia care and is present throughout the case.
Problems can arise from a variety of sources. Underlying diseases can become manifest during an operation independent of the stresses of surgery and anesthesia. These stresses will interact with underlying conditions, making acute exacerbations even more likely. The surgery itself often causes additional specific problems, including the surgeons compressing vital organs or lacerating significant arteries or veins. Other difficulties may be triggered when equipment fails (although these failures are rarely the sole cause of the problem), or when the anesthetist or surgeon makes an overt error. Several strategies are used to prevent problems from occurring. Precase evaluation of the patient and checking the anesthesia equipment disclose immediate hazards. Appropriate planning will make the likelihood of error on the part of the anesthetist or surgeon less likely, but human fallibility cannot be entirely eliminated.
During the surgery, the patient’s ventilation must be mechanically controlled. Failure to do so will result in asphyxia, cardiac arrest, and death. Throughout the operation, the anesthetist is engaged in a large number of tasks. These include (but are not limited to):
- Monitoring the patient and the life-support equipment by direct and electronic observation.
- Adjusting the anesthetic level and administering other medications as needed.
- Recording vital signs and other parameters at least every 5 min.
- Responding to changes in the patient’s condition and taking emergency actions if needed. Evaluating blood loss and urine output.
- Administering IV fluids and, when needed, blood.
- Adjusting the position of the OR table as needed by the surgeons.
