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.
I had surgery for pyloric stenosis as an infant in 1983. My understanding is I was paralyzed but given no pain killers and was wide awake and feeling everything as they began to cut me open, man handle my intestines.
Didn’t learn about this til now when I’m 40 years old and stress my entire life has destroyed my spine and turned me into an angry emotional wreck
Yeah, I read a study somewhere on this subject, and apparently, the study authors found that babies given only paralytics for surgery had serious issues in adultedhood compared to babies who never had surgery. They study authors believed in was from the trauma. I cannot believe they used to think babies can't feel pain. Why do they cry then when they get a shot? Ridiculous!
They gave me a spinal tap at birth but not my twin sister (even though our mother told the doctors no). I've had mood disorders, suicidal tendencies, back problems, and chronic pain ever since I can remember. For decades, I didn't understand and thought I was a mental case. I'm a very angry person at 47.
Why is TH-cam hiding my comments?!?!
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
We think it's pretty amazing too! Thanks for watching!
i’m getting my tonsils out soon and i wish i had this done when i had my appendix out!
Wow I’m impressed that she was comfortable!
Nice job , this is a better helth care taken to onother level, I appreciate that very much
This is also very dangerous as well.
How is it dangerous? The doctors who administer the spinal anesthesia are experts in safe administration of the anesthesia. Also spinal/local anesthesia is often a safer option than general anesthesia. With general anesthesia that baby would have had a breathing tube down its throat & be hooked up to life support machines(high amount of danger). Instead because the baby was awake due to a spinal anesthetic the baby was able to breathe on its own & no narcotics are required for pain management. The doctors in this video even said the risk levels for spinal anesthesia are low.
This is amazing...well done guys
Thanks for watching!
It was great and it calms
Fabulous just fantastic incredible safety and baby’s happiness and welfare.
Anesthesia puts us to sleep so we don’t feel anything during the surgery and we shouldn’t worry about it either. I had tonsil surgery when I was 3 years old and I had anesthesia
anesthesia kills. it shouldnt be trusted
@@wickedhouston5538 that’s not true. Anesthesia puts us to sleep so we won’t feel anything
@@wickedhouston5538 What the hell --you’re lying right through your teeth! Comment sections & STATS now SHOW that this has been going on and THE PRACTICE IS filled with spinal injuries from the sh*t but that’s very profitable so I get where you’re coming from money money money money money greed greed greed🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
@@devanireneeortman yeah. eternal sleep
@@wickedhouston5538 Bro along with realizing antiseptic technique, the discovery of anesthesia has been the most important advancement in surgery. Next time you need emergency surgery, yea ask for it awake...also anesthesiologists are in charge of taking care of all your major organ systems when you're out so I would note their importance
This looks fantastic
It's a great option. Thanks for watching!
I’m so tired of the stigma with narcotics. Too many sick and hurt people are suffering and even dying due to this.

The little baby is cute
very strange to saw spinal in 1 year i mean under 12 years
zia jan sad as well
Its better and less risky than putting thm under. as said in the vid they didn't need so much medication with this-the less drugs the better
It is under caudal block sir?
So basically epidural
Yeah basically the same. Except epidural involves placing a tube into the back( sort of like the IV in the hand/ arm vein, except its placed in the back ; anesthetics are then dripped from the medicine fluid bag through the tube into the back. Thats the best way i could describe it . The spinal block as shown in this video is just a syringe full of anesthetics injected into the spine and there is no tube. I’m no doctor, all I do is watch birth shows but thats what I learned from these shows about spinal anesthetics. Most of the time these forms of anesthetics are used in pregnant women. Epidural drips are mainly for controlling pain during natural childbirth; it helps them not feel the contractions as much. And spinal block is for c section. Spinal block is usually a lot stronger than an epidural.
This made me smile
Please post more clips
MaSyaAlloh 👍
I’ve had 25 surgery’s in my life and I’m 12 and BOO I am not doing that
What for
What was your surgery for
Same (in that I’d never undergo surgery/invasive procedure without general or MAC)
Yeah, I feel you on that one, but in this case the baby has never been put under so there's no saying how his body will react. You know that your body can tolerate it because it has before. There's also the psychological factor that baby has no clue. You sure are one tough cookie, I pray you won't have to go through any more surgeries, they're definitely not fun.
Can this be done for any cardiac surgeries and how old of children will this work for before there is a window where surgery without general anesthesia is not feasible until adulthood or at least near adulthood?
Kasie ream it is only for abdominal down operations..if cardiac surgery it would be general anesthesia
Stent insertion, which is a cardiac procedure(an alternative to open heart surgery) is performed using local anesthesia. Nerve blocks are often used for surgery on the arm and local anesthesia is used for surgeries on the hand. Awake surgeries can be done above the bellybutton just as easily as they are performed below the bellybutton.
Gonna pass.
why wouldn’t you give the baby Epidural??
I hating seeing babies in pain, hospitals & needing surgery =( but at the same time they're so oblivious to the severity of what's going on & seeing them smiling playing around & have no knowledge of what's going on makes it a little better...
Dang
Why couldn’t she go under......
Because general anesthesia can be more risky for young children and babies than adults
😭
👍👍👍👏👏
😘😘😘😘😘
Do NOT play God! Those children were destined to suffer because of all the sins committed in their previous births!!
shut the fuck up
Listen your such a Moron, I'm not one to diss on peoples beleifsbut you really amaze me I hope your joking and this comment is satire.
Don't worry folks this less of an animal will b destined 2 b burnd wen fire is hurled down from heaven on the day of judgement
Oh I suppose you’d rather no anaesthesia at all then, your 170 odd years too late. Go back to the dark ages where you belong.
good okay so if you ever need surgery everyone will just let you suffer ight

Is there not a danger of a baby moving at a bad time? How is that "controlled"? I think this is wonderful but I'm curious about how this works.
Is that a sneaky bit of dexmedetomidine sedation in the syringe???
I had my first spinal anaesthetic a few days ago. I was unable to move anything from the waist down for several hours afterwards. I imagine it would only be used for procedures on the lower body.
It’s a mixture of medications. There are neuromuscular blocking agents (stops you from moving) along with analgesic medications which stop pain. When injected in the spine at a certain junction, it essentially paralyzes and numbs the patient preventing movement. Some patients even get sedatives which relaxes you without going fully unconscious.
She was paralyzed where the procedure was taking place.
😘😘😘😘😘
I think doctors should be the real heroes in our society not the celebreties that cant even handle their own lives

It’s scary
The word Progressive makes me cringe
Pretty sure there will be side effects later
What type of sedation they need? What are the usual complications u face? How you manage that?
why can't they do this on adult patients?
Because of the stress an adult endures by knowing what fear is.
I did this and am 18
We do it all the time in adults!
A longstanding issue is that there can be a delay in the return of bladder & motor function which can delay discharge in day case patients.
It depends on the adult. Many adults prefer to be awake for their surgery. You can ask the doctor questions about how the surgery is going & the doctor will often give you updates & show you what they’re about to insert into you or show you what they’ve removed. I’ve heard that being awake for a surgery is like the patient playing an integral role in their treatment.
This is fantastic.
So good we want more videos 🎉❤
