The selection of anesthesia is a major decision that could have a major impact on your recovery. Generally, there are two main types of anesthesia options: General anesthesia and Regional anesthesia.
General anesthesia involves putting the patient into a deep sleep, ensuring they feel no pain and have no awareness of the surgery.
On the other hand, Regional anesthesia targets a specific area of the body, such as the lower half, by numbing it. The most common form is a spinal or epidural block, where anesthetic is injected near the spinal cord. Patients may remain awake but comfortable, often accompanied by sedation to help them relax. This is more commonly used than general anesthesia for Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty).
The choice between these options depends on several factors, including the patient’s medical history, the surgeon's recommendation, and the patient's personal preference. At Joint & Bone Solutions, we prioritize patient safety and comfort, discussing all options thoroughly to ensure the best possible outcome.
