Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 My son may need dental work soon, and the doctor suggested putting him under anesthesia. What do you guys consider safe under the circumstances? What about when you do EEG or a colonoscopy? What kind of medications do you use? Any side effects? TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even herbal mixtures can react with anesthesia in unpredictable ways, so I always have the dentist and doctor discuss what we're using and it's active ingredients before we give anesthesia to my dd. Our dentist uses a liquid which creates a drowsy twilight state, then when my daughter is relaxed and comfortable she puts on the face mask and gives her just enough " laughing gas " to keep her relaxed but not unconscious.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 hi gina joseph did undergo a test to look into his bladder and went under anestetics. i think the worst of it was 1.) he is a severe asmatic that became a problem he had to have several treatments 1st before being put under. 2.) he suffers migraines and he got one of those to because he was not able to eat before the test. i didnt see any problems other than that, oh wait yes i did the staff needs to know he is autistic cause their lazy a$$'s don't read charts well. they kept saying this child is bad why can't he be like the normal kids , just about that time i walked in and said because he is autistic u ignorant anus. then told the dr to get a set of different staff here before i leave and go straight to the medical boad directors be sure they know what they child's issues are , tell them, they dont always read the charts terri mom of joe & chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 We have to use Demerol when coming out from anesthesia because my child becomes very agitated. You don't know if you child will react this way until it's too late. Make sure that the Doctor knows this could be an issue and to be ready for it. It took 3 large Swedish Viking type nurses to hold down my then 4 year child after having tubes placed in his ears. The next time around a different doctor doubted my story but I insisted they have something ready and they said it took 2 shots of Demerol to calm him down. I have no idea how my now 8 year old would do with laughing gas....TS Re: *** Anesthesia*** In a message dated 6/25/2003 12:49:45 PM Central Daylight Time, ginam@... writes: > My son may need dental work soon, and the doctor suggested putting him > under > anesthesia.
