Paraanesthesia

Paraanesthesia is a condition in which a person loses the ability to feel pain. This effect occurs after the introduction of anesthetics into the patient’s blood. In medical terminology, there is a definition: the absence of pain after anesthesia is paraanesthesia. A similar condition may occur in a patient during dental operations or other medical procedures. The person completely gets rid of unpleasant sensations. This reduces the severity of anxiety and the degree of fear, which increases the effectiveness of treatment.

Specialists

Paraanesthesia is a temporary analgesic effect that occurs in some patients during general anesthesia and/or tracheal intubation. They arise due to a gingival reflex response, which may be caused by damage to the mandibular nerve (VII nerve of the cranial sympathetic nervous system) during intranasal injection of lidocaine to mask the gag reflex. The response activates the parasympathetic system and causes a decrease in blood pressure, a decrease in pulse rate, nausea, dizziness, double vision, tinnitus, mild lethargy, depressed consciousness, depression of the heart, decreased peripheral blood oxygen saturation, bradypnea, cold extremities, etc. Paraanaesthesia may decrease, disappear or become more pronounced within minutes or hours after treatment of the upper jaw and may last several days
