People often say that "one anesthesia for three years is stupid", which causes many patients who need anesthesia surgery to be very worried. This is due to the side effects of general anesthesia surgery on the body in the past, which will affect the future life of patients. However, in recent years, more advanced drugs have been used in general anesthesia, and the side effects of drugs after anesthesia have been greatly reduced. As long as the metabolism is complete, it will not affect the future life, so don't worry too much. So, how often can general anesthesia be done?

The interval between general anesthesia operations is not clearly defined. Generally speaking, the interval is related to the patient's own physical condition. Because of the improvement of anesthesiology technology, the side effects of drugs are reduced and can be completely metabolized in a few hours. If the patient has no serious illness, he can undergo multiple general anesthesia operations in a short time.

Specifically, if the patient's physical condition is weak or the patient is older and the drug metabolism ability is low, then the interval between two general anesthesia will be relatively long. However, if it is an emergency, such as brain trauma patients, there will be cases where general anesthesia surgery is needed three times a week, and the number of times will be less under special circumstances. If the patient is uneasy about the anesthesia operation, he can consult the doctor in detail after his body recovers, and the two sides will decide the time of the next anesthesia operation.

Accidents may occur during anesthesia, such as reflux, Wuxi, aspiration pneumonia, etc. If the stomach contents are inhaled by mistake, it will cause lung complications such as acute respiratory obstruction and easily lead to death. Therefore, patients will be required to fast 12 hours before operation.

It is normal for patients to feel sleepy during postoperative recovery. Patients who are not fully awake will feel tired and quiet, and will gradually get better after recovery. For patients with large postoperative mood swings, more attention should be paid to avoiding excessive behavior.

Generally speaking, there is no specific requirement for the interval between two anesthesia operations, depending on the patient's own situation. Therefore, before the operation, patients and their families must make clear the patient's medical history with the doctor, so as to cooperate with the doctor to formulate the most suitable and safest operation plan. If you don't know your own situation, you should do the relevant examination before the operation, and then make a plan. Keep an optimistic attitude before and after the operation, have a good rest and avoid catching a cold.
