Whenever possible, you should avoid carrying out operations under general anesthesia, because they are very bad for the memory. The researchers found that 75% of elderly patients memory lapses developed it after a similar anesthesia.
Engineering General anesthesia over the past decade has come a long way, and today is one of the safest in the surgery. For example, in 1940 in the United Kingdom for every one million patients who underwent general anesthesia through, it recorded 640 deaths related to anesthesia. In 2011, this figure fell to 90%, according to The Lancet.
But if physical health general anesthesia threatened not so much as it was in ancient times, it is for the brain and mental activity of man, this kind of anesthesia is still extremely dangerous. A significant number of patients develop symptoms of postoperative cognitive decline. These people suffer from memory loss and behavioral changes. Their mind is not as sharp as it was before the operation.
Sometimes these symptoms are seen for weeks, sometimes months. Some experts believe that they generally are lifelong. A scientific study published in the journal PLOS One, showed that 76% of patients aged 60 through 12 months after general anesthesia still showed signs of mild cognitive impairment of mental activity.
Some scientists believe that general anesthesia has a negative impact on the human immune system, since, in spite of the effect of anesthesia nerves still "do not sleep" and feel the pain. The body produces stress hormones, which beat on immunity. Therefore, cancer patients that have passed through such anesthesia, tumors in some cases begin to actively proliferate due to the suppression of immune activities of T cells. That is why a general anesthesia should be used only in the most exceptional cases. The future of medicine for the development of benign technologies using local anesthesia. (READ MORE)
