Not be afraid to anesthesia
(WHEN IS tumescent local anesthesia KLEIN OR)
Anesthesia is one of the biggest fears that patients manifest the possibility of surgery, especially since in recent times that have happened to the unfortunate cases made public, create a natural fear in everyone.
There are different types of anesthesia:
A. The general, in which the patient is drug induced coma,
B. The regional block in which the different nerves to a certain area does not hurt,
C. The purely local in which only "sleeps" the area where the procedure is performed and therefore the less risky it is and which is practically risk-free.
Anesthesia has evolved dramatically in recent years, both local or general, although the latter is not widespread in these latitudes and is virtually unknown to the surgeons. Personally, and this is regrettable, I think all adverse cases that have been released, were due to local anesthesia desconocimientote modern and indiscriminate use of general anesthesia, with its natural consequences, which, although few
For surgeries that are performed surface with a desire for aesthetic or with or without laser surgery of varicose veins, all LEADING SURGEONS prefer to use local anesthesia to reduce risks and costs of the patient.
Until recently local anesthesia could be applied only to very small lesions, limited by the dose of medication, but a California physician, Dr. Jeffrey Klein developed a new type of local anesthesia, which is named after Tumescent Local Anesthesia Anesthesia and Klein, which has revolutionized cosmetic surgery.
What is Tumescent Local Anesthesia or Klein?
This technique allows us to make more and better surgeries with fewer risks and complications.
On the other hand this modern anesthesia, allowed many procedures previously done only under general anesthesia and hospitalization, pass performed on an outpatient basis.
The technique consists of dilute local anesthetic (Lidocaine) in large volumes of sterile serum, using the volume for each procedure right and necessary that gives the patient a comfortable analgesia during surgery.
For better application of this technique is used an infusion pump that enables slow and painless introduction of the liquid anesthetic in the operating area.
The advantages
· It is a long-lasting anesthesia allows the surgeon to take the time necessary to remodel the area, seeking and obtaining the best result.
· There is less bleeding because in the tumescent solution is used adrenaline that constricts blood vessels in the area by minimizing bruising.
· Provides a fast and comfortable recovery, reducing the recovery time of several weeks to days.
· Using this advanced system, surgeons can safely remove large amounts of fat using the Smart Lipo Laser Assisted Liposculpture or.
· The body surgeries as the abdomen, breasts, buttocks and calves, as well as facial rejuvenation surgeries have become outpatient procedures. much more accessible by lowering costs and recovery.
In our hands, the results have been so good that we have virtually ignored the use of general anesthesia for the procedures we perform, we have over 10,000 patients operated on in 20 years both at home and outside boundaries and we can say that we a global benchmark in the use of this technique and we are proud of it.
Unfortunately, it is a very little known and little used in Uruguay, since the structure of care, in many ways archaic fears aggiornamiento the modern world to keep certain medical groups at the expense of higher cost of service. Surgeon Dr. Danilo Castro MD PhD
