Spinal Anesthesia: Surgery without General Anesthesia

Connect with a specialist: http://bit.ly/2svZwJl More about spinal anesthesia: http://bit.ly/2syKgf8 Meet Rama Jayanthi, MD: http://bit.ly/2sw1NnR Our anesthesiologists offer spinal anesthesia for select patients who are undergoing some types of surgeries. The procedure is typically offered as an alternative to general anesthesia (going to sleep) for patients up to two years old. This allows the patient to stay awake during the surgery, while being numbed and immobilized from the mid-chest down. A member of the anesthesia team will even play with your child while he or she is having surgery. Benefits of this approach are that a child's vital signs very stable and there is no need for anesthesiologists to use a breathing tube, general anesthetics or narcotics such as morphine. The spinal anesthesia also offers good post-surgery pain control and less recovery time. Go inside the operating room to learn how it's done.
