Anesthesia Prolonged

Prolonged anesthesia (a. prolongata) is a method of anesthesia that is used to reduce pain and discomfort during surgeries, procedures or other medical interventions. This method is based on the use of drugs that prolong the effect of the usual anesthetic and allow the patient to feel more comfortable for a long time.

Prolonged anesthesia reduces the patient's stress level and reduces the risk of anesthesia-related complications. It also allows the doctor to perform more precise and effective work, as the patient is in a state of calm and relaxation.

One of the most common methods of prolonged anesthesia is the use of inhalational anesthetics such as nitrous oxide or isoflurane. These drugs are administered through a mask that is placed on the patient's face and allow the depth of anesthesia to be controlled.

Another method of prolonged anesthesia is the administration of narcotic drugs intravenously or intramuscularly. These drugs act quickly and reduce the patient's pain and stress levels.

Although prolonged anesthesia has its benefits, it may also have some risks. For example, long-term use of inhaled drugs can lead to the development of respiratory failure or an allergic reaction. Therefore, before performing an operation, the doctor must assess all possible risks and choose the most suitable method of anesthesia for a particular patient.
