Can I wear contact lenses during general anesthesia surgery?
Contact lenses should not be worn during general anesthesia, because some hospitals routinely apply ointment to eyes after general anesthesia, and then seal them with tape to avoid damaging eyes and even inducing infection. Although there is no feeling during anesthesia, it is not good to prevent accidental glasses from slipping or affecting other parts of the operation. Moreover, wearing contact lenses for a long time will damage the cornea and reduce its thickness. After the corneal thickness is thinned, as many people say, the eye's resistance is reduced. There are many reasons for eye myopia, most of which are eye fatigue caused by watching electronic products for a long time, or it may be genetic. Need to go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for slit lamp examination or vision examination and diagnosis. Usually do some eye exercises correctly.
Can I wear underwear during general anesthesia surgery?
Generally speaking, you can't wear it. There are certain safety risks in general anesthesia and operation itself. First of all, in order to avoid surgical wound infection. The operating environment should be strictly sterile, and patients' clothes may contain bacteria, so it is not advisable to wear personal clothes to enter the operating room. During the operation, it is necessary to connect the ECG monitor for the patient so that the doctor can know the patient's vital signs in real time and ensure the patient's life safety. The connection position of ECG monitor is in the chest, so it is impossible to connect it in underwear. Moreover, the scope of surgical disinfection is much larger than the surgical area, and it is necessary to take off clothes and expose the skin more. But it won't be exposed all the time during the operation. After disinfection, the doctor will cover the area around the operation with sterile cloth, exposing only the incision.
Can you sleep after general anesthesia operation?
Generally, you can't sleep for about 4 hours after general anesthesia surgery. Patients with respiratory dysfunction return to the ward after surgery, but there is no clear ECG monitoring after sleep before anesthesia drugs are completely metabolized, which is easy to cause suffocation and even life-threatening. Sedatives, analgesics and muscle relaxants need to be given during general anesthesia to keep the patient's internal environment stable, circulation stable and oxygenation good, so that the body can complete the operation under physiological conditions. Routine anesthesia is needed before operation. For patients with respiratory or circulatory dysfunction, attention should be paid to protecting cardiopulmonary function during anesthesia. After the operation, anesthetic drugs, such as intravenous anesthetic propofol, metabolize quickly, usually 5- 10 minutes, and the patient can wake up in half an hour at most. Returning to the ward after operation, it is suggested that patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency should be monitored by ECG, which can better judge or predict whether patients have cardiac function or respiratory insufficiency.
Can I drink water during general anesthesia operation?
You can't drink water or eat before general anesthesia operation. Because narcotic drugs will affect the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract, it is easy to cause patients to cough. If the reflux blocks the airway, it may cause suffocation, and inhalation into the lungs will lead to aspiration pneumonia. We must fast and drink water before general anesthesia. You can replenish water by intravenous infusion. If it is an abdominal operation, it takes 48 to 72 hours to eat after the intestinal tract is exhausted. Don't drink water for about six hours, and body fluids will be replenished in time after operation.
