Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hello the House, I believe the length of the operation would be a big factor in determining the anesthesia. Also some where along the line I believe I read that they do not like to perform what they call a regional anesthetic on CMTers(spinals and epidurals) because of the poor transmitting of the CMT nerves. The following URL gives a pretty good description in Laymen's terms of the procedure of applying anesthesia even how young ones are treated. I have had 7hr and 4hr foot surgery, no need to worry, piece of cake. http://anesthesia.net/page3.html E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 Gretchen I am not having any surgery done as least not that I know of now. But in the past I have had small things like wisdom teeth and a nerve biopsy. And I've had knee surgery before. I was just wondering about how anesthesia affects us with CMT and what we need to do differently in case I have to have any kind of surgery again.. thanks ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
