Anesthesia, Resuscitation, and ICU: Q&A
in Health ·
So, I tried getting a gastroscopy done, but it was a total bust—I kept telling them my throat felt super tight, but they just wouldn't listen! So, they decided to just go under anesthesia, and here’s how things went down:
Anesthesia report: ASA II, TIVA 550mg, Propofol 120 mg Succinylcholine. They attempted the gastroscopy using TIVA, but trying to intubate was a complete fail—Cormack Lehan grade III. Saturation started dropping, so they had to switch to manual ventilation and popped in an LM no5, which worked like a charm because my saturation normalized right back to SpO2 100%. Once everything was wrapped up, I was breathing on my own and hemodynamically stable, so they moved me over to the ICU.
I’d love to hear from any pros out there who could comment or explain what happened...
