When you are anesthetized, where on earth does the hypodermic shift?
I am referring to non-local anesthesia. Does it go in your arm?
Answers:
yes, it goes within your arm
depending on the surgery and the size of the I.V. needed (which depends on the surgery), they will put it in your arm or appendage. They usually try to place it in the hand first, if possible. Options, if you are frightened, include a numbing paste called EMLA, a local numbing injection (lidocaine), or a cold spray (ethyl chloride). You can always ask if these are available, explaining your apprehension
Hopefully Pangolin will chime in on this one since this is her profession (anesthesiologist). The anesthesiologist will start an IV (in the forearm or hand), and after inject medications through that line. In other words, you are not stuck multiple times. Source(s): RN
in your arm they inject it into your iv so where your iv is to be precise where the anesthesia goes.
That's where on earth they've always stuck me, right in the inside of my elbow.
It didn't hurt, if that's what you're wondering, and I was out in seconds.
