They put her on a ventilator.

This is one of their ventilator shafts.

The patient is put on a ventilator to assist breathing.

I peeked in on him now and then through the ventilator.

Until anesthesia, the absence of sensation.

Unable to breathe on her own, she was put on a ventilator.

Anesthesia gave surgeons the freedom to operate.

Anesthesia machine multi parameter monitor, operating lights, suction.

This was done under local anesthesia, as an outpatient.

In this hospital, there is one person qualified to deliver anesthesia, and she's qualified because she has 12, maybe 18 months of training in anesthesia.

There's this kind of anesthesia in America at the moment.

In the background there is a very sophisticated anesthesia machine.

35 million surgeries are attempted every year without safe anesthesia.

The second time was a procedure that involved local anesthesia.

It's just a reality of anesthesia. The lungs can be paralyzed.

They have a really cool anesthesia simulation lab out in Baltimore.

Once he asked me for a drink of water and I handed it to him through the ventilator.

So I've talked a lot about anesthesia, and I tend to do that.

Sharing the same root with anesthesia, meaning no sensation, synesthesia means joined sensation.

It's practiced, it's no anesthesia, it's a rusty old knife, and it was difficult.

If either a bag valve mask or a mechanical ventilator is used with an oxygen supply, this rises to 99 oxygen.

Nursing activities during this period focus on safety, infection prevention, and physiological response to anesthesia.

After anesthesia, the patient's inability to react to movements may damage joints and muscle groups.

I got him to come with me anesthesia tech come with me from the U.K.

Anesthesia gave them the freedom to experiment, to start to delve deeper into the body.

Monkeys were implanted with sensors to measure vital signs, and many were under anesthesia during launch.

And actually, it's the model that we expect to work for delivering anesthesia in these environments.

Well we have a whole O.R. team, general anesthesia, nurses, and another doctor across from me.

Usually when you buy a ventilator in a hospital, you buy a different one for children, you buy a different one for transport.

I'm a senior resident in anesthesia in intensive care at the University Hospital of the West Indies.

What if you're in surgery and the power goes out? No lights, no oxygen and your anesthesia stops flowing. It happens constantly in hospitals throughout the world, turning routine procedures into tragedies. Erica Frenkel demos one solution the universal anesthesia machine.

It takes about an hour and a half to two hours, depending on where it's done, under general anesthesia.

But what is exactly that stuff that we lose under anesthesia, or when we are in deep, dreamless sleep?

And, so, very quickly, Bob can just get one puncture, local anesthesia, and do this harvest as an outpatient.

And we could take a very simple view and say, well, it is that which we lose when we fall into deep sleep without dreams, or when we go under anesthesia, and it is what we regain when we recover from sleep or from anesthesia.

I came to the Heart Institute in 2006, as part of my elective in my anesthesia and intensive care program.

Essentially, to deliver anesthesia, you want as pure oxygen as possible, because eventually you're going to dilute it essentially with the gas.

We had the pause points immediately before anesthesia is given, immediately before the knife hits the skin, immediately before the patient leaves the room.

Because we were in the age before anesthesia, the agony of the patient is really as much of the public spectacle as the surgery itself.
