Right before the surgery, the general anesthesia will be given intravenously (line in your arm). The anesthesia may also be administered through a face mask if the anesthesiologist or patient prefers inhalation induction. This usually occurs for children who are afraid of needles or when IV access is difficult to obtain.
During the procedure, the anesthesiologist closely monitors the patient. He/she maintains the patient's medications, airway management (a breathing tube may be inserted), temperature and blood pressure, all the while making sure that the patient does not regain consciousness.
Once the surgery is complete, the patient will be taken off the anesthesia drugs and he/she will gradually wake up. The patient may experience common side effects such as grogginess, nausea, dry mouth, sore throat and shivering.
