Spinal and epidural anesthesia are being used more and more with childbirth, cesarian sections, leg surgeries and other surgeries where general anesthesia is not necessary. Doctors and anesthesiologists understand that general anesthesia carries many dangers with it and than the less anesthesia a patient can take, and remain comfortable, the safer the procedure will be overall.
Sometimes people are so afraid of the side-effects of anesthesia that they will refuse surgery when their lives could be greatly improved if they would have it.
Research is showing that adding music to the formula can actually help the patient use less anesthesia too. Listening to soft, slow and soothing music before, during, and after the procedure can decrease the amount of anesthesia required by up to 50%!
Watch this video, which will give you a medical perspective on how spinal anesthesia is administered and show you why it is preferable to general anesthesia, if possible!
