The Anesthesia Fact Book: Everything You Need to Know Before Surgery

Description

Despite the obvious fact that an anesthetic is a crucial part of any surgery, you will likely only meet briefly with your anesthesiologist before your procedure. Without more time to talk about your concerns, you'll still have unanswered questions: How will you know I'm asleep? Is it possible to wake up during surgery? How will you monitor me during my surgery? What are the potential complications I should know about?

Written by a board-certified, veteran anesthesiologist, The Anesthesia Fact Book puts a sense of control back in your hands and will make you a more informed and more confident patient. Answering the most common questions you may have about the anesthetic process, it includes essential information on:
How general anesthesia works and how it differs from twilight, spinal, or epidural anesthesia The credentials you should look for in your anesthesiologist The key questions you should be sure to ask before your surgery The heart and breathing monitors used during most surgeries The risks associated with anesthesia delivered in a doctor's office Summary: Funny and InformativeRating: 5With unexpected candor and wit, Dr. Sweeny demystifies the surgical experience and gives you the facts on how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe in the operating room. A must read for anyone undergoing surgery.Summary: Dr. Sweeny Changed My Life!Rating: 5Dr. Sweeny's book changed my life. I had a large inguinal hernia but was too afraid to undergo surgery because I didn't want anesthesia. I've seen TV shows where people are wide awake suring surgery but can't do or say anything. I was so scared that I delayed surgery several years during which my hernia grew larger and progressively limited my activities and my quality of life. Now that I've read Dr. Sweeny's book, I understand how anesthesia works and realize that I have a higher chance of being struck by lightning than being awake during surgery. He explained what to expect before and after surgery in plain english and what questions to direct to your anesthesiologist. I've recommended this book to all of my friends, even if they don't need surgery, just because it educated me so well. Dr. Sweeny, thank you for taking away my fear of surgery and giving me my life back!
