All three claim to have made the working dose of anesthetics but it is still debated to this day of who actually made it.

(how has it changed from that first development?) lucy_martin1 https://padlet.com/lucy_martin1/34v1zupwscay/wish/122382725 The types of medications we use today in anesthetics are 
  • Sedatives-(a drug taken for its calming or sleep-inducing effect.)
  • Narcotics- (an addictive drug affecting mood or behaviour, especially an illegal one.)
  • Hypnotics- (a sleep-inducing drug.)
    (Dictionary meanings accessed on the 8/9/2016)
Whereas back in the day people used 
  • Coliform
  • Nitrous oxide 
  • Ether (Laughing gas)  
]]> 2016-09-08 11:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lucy_martin1/34v1zupwscay/wish/122382725 How do we use the breakthrough today? lucy_martin1 https://padlet.com/lucy_martin1/34v1zupwscay/wish/122382915 General anesthesia has been widely used and all different types of surgery since 1846. But today we use it for many different things, general anesthesia and local anesthesia are two different things the are reasons that people use general over local and they are:
  • The procedure is likely to take a long time
  • There is a likelihood of significant blood loss
  • Breathing may be affected - in an operation on the chest, for example
  • Being able to administered without moving the patient from the supine position
  • The procedure will make the patient feel uncomfortable 

The main purpose of general anesthetic is to induce:
  • Analgesia (remove natural response to pain)
  • Amnesia (memory loss)
  • Immobility (removal of motor reflexes)
  • Unconsciousness
  • Skeletal muscle relaxation

There are a few different ways of using anesthesia but the main ones are: a needle into the top of your hand or through an oxygen mask. these ways are different because on goes through your body system through the blood and the other goes through your lungs.

]]> 2016-09-08 11:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lucy_martin1/34v1zupwscay/wish/122383113 How might this medical breakthrough be used in the future? lucy_martin1 https://padlet.com/lucy_martin1/34v1zupwscay/wish/122383185 An advancement to this medication could be taking a tablet that within 3-5 second you are out cold, different tablets could mean different durations of surgery. Maybe instead of having a tube down your windpipe during the surgery part of your brain could still be sending nerves to your lungs so you are still breathing by yourself. Anesthesia may also be used in the future to treat acute infectious illness, mental disorders, and different types of heart conditions. There may be a wide range of new therapeutic applications for anesthesia

  • There are some common side effects from being under anesthetics are
  • Sore throats 
  • Drowsiness  
  • Dry Mouth 
  • Nauseousness  
  • Headaches 
  • Shivering 
  • Vomiting 
  • Swelling of face 
    • After what you have been though you could also experience some pain when you have awoken that all depends on what the actual surgery was. After awaking from the surgery the nurses can give you painkillers to reduce headaches
    • What could be done is making some sort of medication that can decrease the chances of getting these type of side effects.
