Re: [QUAD-L] anesthesia worry
Hello Shirley and All I imagine a lot of doctors know how to treat for dysreflexia, but you never know. The link below is for printing out a "Autonomic Dysreflexia Wallet Card". When I look for it,it's the 2nd pages up from the bottom of the document. However, I couldn't get it to download so I called there "Nurse Advice Line" (2nd link below) and she offered to email me one and send me a few in the mail. They are not anything fancy just plain paper, so you may want a laminated. She said the email she will send me may take a couple of hours, but when I get it all put it on quadlist also. Good luck!

RE: [QUAD-L] anesthesia worry
Great advice Randy. I never did get one of those cards, but I think I will look for them. I have thought about hemorrhoid surgery because mine bleed so much, but I cannot be put under completely very easily as I cannot bend my head back far enough. I’m glad it worked for you.

I got really sick and my doctor did tests and said it was producing sludge and would need to be removed. After that they removed it laparoscopically.

Re: [QUAD-L] anesthesia worry
I had my gallbladder taken out several years ago, laparoscopically as I remember it they had me completely under and I had no problems. On the other hand, I had hemorrhoid surgery about 2 months ago. I had told my doctor, nurses, nurse assistance, anesthesiologists and his assistant that in the pass I have had a little trouble in recovery. My blood pressure would get high and they would put me back under a little bit and give it more time. I don't know if this is normal or if it had something to do with A/D. The anesthesiologist was not going to put me totally under (my doctor tells me it was against his reasoning). Except for throwing up bile from laying on my belly things were going okay, and until they started cutting. The dysreflexia came on quick shortly after my right here began to pound followed by the left. I told them they would have to stop which they agreed. They turned me back onto another table and then chose to put a tube down my throat then knocked me out completely and started over again. Recovery was kinda lousy. Suggestions: have them put you under completely. Talk to your doctors, surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses. Ask them if they are aware of autonomic dysreflexia and if they were are familiar with it. But what I failed to do, was asked them how they would treat it if I had it. When I was in rehab they gave me a plastic card (like a credit card) one side has information on automatic dysreflexia, BUT THE OTHER SIDE IS INFORMATION TO THE PHYSICIANS ON HOW TO TREAT IT WHILE YOUR STILL IN SURGERY AND AFTER. THE DIFFERENT DRUGS TO USE AND HOW TO USE THEM. I had forgot about this card before the surgery, but I won't do that again.

Re: [QUAD-L] anesthesia worry
Gall bladder surgery is usually done laparoscopically nowadays. So, just a couple small incisions in your abdomen. I've had several major surgeries since my injury and never had a problem with AD. There's always a risk from anesthesia. On Wed, Jun 19, 2019 at 12:48 PM Shirley Bell wrote: > Hi all, I should have my gallbladder out. I am scheduled for July 11.
