Hi Girls

Have any of you been to the Cadogan Clinic in London to have your surgery as this is where I'm having my revision surgery??

It looks amazing but they use a new anesthetic called TIVA which is supposed to be lighter than a general, which means no breathing tubes or ventilators are required because there is minimal
decrease of the breathing rate and blood pressure, so patients breathe
calmly and slowly on their own. Have any of you had this TIVA and what was your experience?

I'm actually really nervous about it as I'd rather be out cold not just sleeping. Is it along the same lines as Twlight cos I've heard of people waking up with that, in the middle of surgery!!!!!!!!! TIVA??? Icon_pale

I haven't heard of it before deffo a good question for James, would be interested to read about it. I dont think I had any breathing tubes under GA for my BA but did for a different op, never had such a weird sore throat in all my life they must have rammed the tube down my nose as I woke up covered in blood from it. Didn't hurt though lol

I had to google TIVA TIVA??? 557141

.

Sounds interesting, it seems to use the same drugs they use at the minute to supplement the inhaled gases just in different doses. Think you'll still have a larnyngeal mask for respiratory support but not intubated and fully ventilated.

misf1- it's quite common to have nasal et tubes as they're a bit more securely held in place especially if having any mouth, ent or facial surgery.

Hi,

Have u read this??

TIVA, a newer anaesthetic technique very well suited to small to medium sized operations (such as breast augmentation). When administered by a qualified anaesthetist in a properly monitored setting, TIVA provides a comfortable and sound sleep without many of the unpleasant side effects of a full, traditional general anaesthetic.
No breathing tubes or ventilators are required because there is minimal decrease of the breathing rate and blood pressure, so patients breathe calmly and slowly on their own.
TIVA patients feel no pain and experiencing no anxiousness as they sleep. Waking is quick and comfortable and patients have no memory of their procedure.

xxxxx TIVA??? 184153

Sounds good to me!
