General anaesthetic?
I recently had an operation and when I be in the anaesthetic room the anesatist asked me If i was right or not here handed. I said left hand (and she was on my left appendage side at this time) but the she goes to the doctor we have another one, and she go to my right hand and stuck the anaesthetic in at hand.
What I want to ask is why does the anaesthetic always go into my right paw isit because its got to do with me not writing from it?
Thanks
Answer: It doesn't business what hand they put it in; they own never asked me and I've had 3 surgeries. And IV is the needle that they stick surrounded by your arm that delievers medication..
Well, IV is abbreviation of 'Intravenous', it is the cannula or the needle they insert to your blood system to facilitate giving medical fluids and medication.
Why they put the IV in your other hand because of abundant reasons:
1. To avoid using the dominant hand, so you can use your not here hand easily next to no restrains.
2. If they put the needle in your disappeared hand, and later when you try to knob a glass of water (you forgot going on for the needle and the IV) you might remove the IV, and hurt your self.
3. Infection, allergy and swelling to the site of IV insertion is one of the most complications which might happened, so you go and get infection to your left hand because of the IV, you won't competent to use it properly.
.
The reason why is because they try and put the IV in the non dominant appendage. If for some reason the IV has to stay surrounded by several days you still have use of your dominant hand.
