Types of Anesthesia
 General Anesthesia

 Local Anesthesia
 Sedation
General Anesthesia
 Preoperative evaluation
 Intraoperative management
 Postoperative management
Purpose of preoperative visit
 Medical assessment of the patient.
 Decide the type of anesthesia.
 Establish rapport with the patient.
 Allay anxiety and decrease pain.
 Obtain informed consent.
 Ask for further investigation.
 Decide risk versus benefit .
 Prescribe medications.
Pre-Operative Assessment
History
 Indication for surgery
 Surgical/anesthetic hx: previous
anesthetics/complications, previous
intubations,
 Medications, drug allergies
• Medical history
 CNS: seizures, CVA, raised ICP, spinal disease,
arteriovenous malformations
 CVS: CAD, MI, CHF, HTN, valvular disease,
dysrhmias, PVD, conditions requiring endocarditis
prophylaxis, exercise tolerance, CCS class, NYHA class
 Resp: smoking, asthma, COPD, recent URTI, sleep
apnea
 GI: GERD, liver disease
 Renal: insufficiency, dialysis
 Hematologic: anemia, coagulopathies, blood
dyscrasias
 MSK: conditions associated with difficult intubations
– arthritis, RA, cervical tumours, cervical
infections/abscess, trauma to C-spine, Down
syndrome,
scleroderma, obesity
 Endocrine: diabetes, thyroid, adrenal disorders
 Other: morbid obesity, pregnancy, ethanol/other drug
use
FHx: malignant hyperthermia, atypical cholinesterase
(pseudocholinesterase), other abnormal drug
reactions
Physical Examination
Physical exams of all systems.
Airway assessment to determine the likelihood of
difficult intubation
 Bony landmarks and suitability of areas for regional

anesthesia if relevant
Focused physical exam on CNS, CVS and respiratory
(includes airway) systems
General, e.g. nutritional, hydration, and mental status
Pre-existing motor and sensory deficits
Sites for IV, central venous pressure (CVP) and
pulmonary artery (PA) catheters,
regional anesthesia
Investigations: According to( ranged from none to most
comlicated)
 Age
 Surgery
 Medical condition
As clinically indicated

Low risk – no further evaluation needed

Intermediate risk – non-invasive stress testing

High risk – proper optimization +/delaying/canceling procedure
 American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA)
classification
 Common classification of physical status at time of
surgery
 A gross predictor of overall outcome, NOT used as
stratification for anesthetic risk (mortality rates)
 ASA 1: a healthy, fit patient (0.06-0.08%)
 ASA 2: a patient with mild systemic disease, e.g.
controlled Type 2 diabetes, controlled essential HTN,
obesity (0.27-0.4%), smoker
 ASA 3: a patient with severe systemic disease that limits

activity, e.g. angina, prior MI, COPD (1.8-4.3%), DM,
obesity
ASA 4: a patient with incapacitating disease that is a
constant threat to life, e.g. CHF, renal failure, acute
respiratory failure (7.8-23%)
ASA 5: a moribund patient not expected to survive 24
hours with/without surgery, e.g. ruptured abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA).
ASA 6 : Brain death patient
For emergency operations, add the letter E after
classification
 Medications:
 Pay particular attention to CVS and resp meds,
narcotics and drugs with many side effects and
interactions• prophylaxis.
 Risk of GE reflux: Na citrate 30 cc PO 30 mins hour
pre-op.
 Risk of adrenal suppression – steroid coverage
 Risk of DVT – heparin SC,LMW Heparin, Mechanical
methods.
 Optimization of co-existing disease ^ bronchodilators
(COPD, asthma), nitroglycerine and beta-blockers
(CAD risk factors)
 Pre-operative medications( most of the timeShould
be continued).
 May be stopped stop eg:
 Oral hypoglycemics – stop on morning of surgery
 Antidepressants.
 Pre-operative medication to adjust:
Insulin, prednisone, coumadin, bronchodilator
 Decide, whether to proceed with surgery ,to send
patient for further management or to cancel the
operation.
 Discus anesthetic options.
 Decide which is the most useful for the patient.
 Informed concent.
 Risk stratification .
Types of anesthesia
GENRAL ANESTHESIA
REGIONAL ANESTHESIA
LOCAL ANESTHESIA.
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Airway management
 Endotracheal intubation( Body cavities, Full stomach,
prone position, compromised, Very long operations,
Airway involvment )
 Laryngeal mask Airway( peripheral, No indication for
ETT)
 Mask( very short, no indication for ETT)
Ventilation
 Spontaneous ( No muscle relaxant)
 Controlled ( With muscle relaxant)
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
 PREPARATION
 monitoring
 position
 Intravenous fluid
 Warming
 CONDUCT OF ANESTHESIA
 PERIOPERATIVE MEDICINE
 Monitoring: according to paitent medical condition
and surgery proposed
 Basic: ECG, NIBP,SpO2, EtCO2, Temp,FiO2,
Anesthetic gases, Airway pressure, The presence of
anesthetist all throug
procedure.
 Others: Nerve stimulator, Invasive Bp, CVP, CO, BIS,
PA Catheter, TEE, UO
Lab tests, ABGs, CBC, LFT , Coagulation, TEG
Basic Principles of Anesthesia
 Anesthesia defined as the abolition of sensation
 Analgesia defined as the abolition of pain
 “Triad of General Anesthesia”
 need for unconsciousness
 need for analgesia
 need for muscle relaxation
