What happens if we administration anesthesia even after positive aspiration?
Answers
A hospital's anesthesia department plays a key role in many areas of the facility's operations including operating room efficiency (on-time starts, recovery time, etc.), patient safety and clinical outcomes and patient, surgeon and surgical staff satisfaction. Despite this level of influence, it's not uncommon for hospital anesthesia departments to feel and even act slightly like outsiders. This is because in many hospitals — save academic medical centers — anesthesiology services are outsourced to a contracted anesthesiology group, rather than provided by employed physicians. Additionally, anesthesia groups may hold a number of contracts in a single market, meaning hospitals may not always have a dedicated anesthesiology team
Explanation:
When injecting into a blood vessel (for example during intravenous sedation) it is essential to aspirate blood into the syringe prior to drug administration to ensure that the tip of the needle is lying within a vein. By the same token, when the injection is intended to be extravascular it would appear to be wise to ensure that no blood is aspirated into the syringe before drug delivery. This procedure is employed routinely by medical and nursing staff, but is not universally accepted by dentists prior to the administration of dental local anaesthetics.
