I gained a lot of anesthesia experience as a CRNA on these cases, I’ve moved around a lot since my early years to work in other areas such as cardio thoracic surgeries & even dental anesthesia for Maxillofacial procedures. That’s why I love anesthesia, it’s a lot easier to move about vs being a surgeon where you’re kind of limited to your specialty as it’s not that simple to turn an 18 wheeler around to go a different direction. But BIG respect to spine surgeons, they are my favorite docs, and alot of them I knew were very smart on the topic of anesthesia as well, impressively so.
Double lumbar fusion last November. Two procedures front and back within 2 days. Spent more time in the OR than I bet wan to. Good news it was a huge success.
I do miss working in the OR. 40+ years experience working General, plastic, ENT, Urology, GYN, Ortho, and Neuro. I remember starting working in the OR as a scrub nurse back in the early 1970’s. Laminectomies were performed very differently back then as well as all other procedures. Medicine/Surgery has come a very long way compared to when I started out. Your OR suites look very well equipped. ❤
Hi again! Back in the early 80's. My surgeon, walked me down to the surgery suite, to give me the tour. Other staff went nuts. Then we walked back to prep with anesthesiologist. Obviously, I have never forgotten his gesture. 😊
Hey there, I do about 15 new patient telemedicines💻🌎 every week. Here is the best path forward: 1- email your insurance card to Spine@TSCspine.com (We don’t take HMOs or Medicaid, but can private pay, unless Medicaid) 2- if we take that insurance THEN upload your images to my portal for our 1st visit. 3- I must have X-rays and MRI, X-rays are critical! “Just” MRI isn’t enough. Need to be from last 12 months. Nothing older is needed, or wanted. 4- You need to get your CD 💿 of your X-ray and MRI (imaging centers will never send them to us) 5- On the top of my website (www.DonnallySpine.com) is the link to UPLOAD images, from YOUR HOME! 🤯🥰 (or at a CVS with Physician LookUp Code k5037438) 6- To recap: email us, get CDs, THEN upload! Step by step: ruclips.net/video/HpKOfI_1FSs/видео.html - Again- no HMO, no Medicaid. Must have your X-rays and MRI.
Thanks for the tour! I just had lumbar laminectomy surgery and I would love to know how they prep the patient and turn them over - how do you administer anesthesia through that hole? Are they intubated first, then turned or what? The rest I understand but that - questions.
Hey used to be hips were nursing home city. Today seems Drs got that taken care of. Busted my shoulder & my Dr said I DIDNT NEED TO USE MY DOM RT ARM. I so beg to differ. Arm is now popping. I dare any Dr to go thru life using non dom arm. 2nd opinion I must get. But hip u got it made!😊
@@spicyirwin5835 :: Your comment touched me, Spicy-Irwin. You need to see a doctor about a repair for your shoulder, of course, if at all possible. But if you have no insurance it will be expensive.
Thx for the tour. So if epidural/ steroid injection hurt my broken shoulder; back surgery def would. Hey I learned bone marrow donation comes later also. How do u choose which procedure? Bc I waited so long is that why discs & scoliosis & arthritis got worse. I beat myself up daily for postponing.
When I had my spinal fusion there was a lady who came in with a briefcase like device that said she would be checking my nerves.??? Is that correct.?? Was that a nurse or a highly specialized tech.?? What did that briefcase contain.??? ... and how are nerves checked and why.??? Thank you .!!!!
I have a question my neorsergery they going to take a mass out from my vetebral spinol but they going to take out alitle small bone on the spinol,and I told him how they going to it back n he told me I'm not going to need it anymore is that's right just want to be face?
WOW MATE All I can say is 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞. UNBELIEVABLE MATE WE'LL DONE! WELL DONE DOCTOR. ❤ Cheers Andre Georgescu of South Australia...🤞🤞🤞👏✌🙏🦅🦅🦅
I had a mylogram that found a strange anomaly in my spine at L4 - L5. The surgeon did a bi-lateral laminectomy to remove a congenital cavernous hemangioma. Does having the lamina removed weaken that part of my spine?
Looking at that spine bed, what are some ways the OR staff could possibly handle a situation where the patient could not lay flat on their stomach due to it causing severe sciatic nerve pain and just in general, physically unable to get flat on stomach due to spinal stenosis.
I was in a few weeks ago for an ACDF C6/C7 and I am short & just about 300lb. They got me under and intubated and then had to cxl the surgery because the C-Arm couldn’t clearly identify the structures needed to pinpoint the incision location so my surgery was cxld. They rebooked me at another hospital for next week and that OR has an O-Arm. My questions are, what is the difference between a C-Arm & and O-Arm & at my size would it have been better to schedule me with the O-Arm from the beginning?
What kinds of questions is the rep needed for during surgery? I assumed the money counting comment was a little jab at the rep, but what is their usefulness during the actual procedure?
Broke my T7,8 in 3 places. Got staph that spread to my ankle and I almost died. The infection further deteriorated the discs. T5-10 posterior fusion and 3 days later anterior fusion of T6-8. No fun. Also a shoulder replacement. I’m a year and a half post spinal fusion. Still painful and so very numb where they cut through the ribs. Having a hard time finding anything on this much fusion. Robotic surgery, which is crazy to me. Also fixed scoliosis, forward curve and laminectomy.
Can't understand what you are saying. 🤔 if you had the old fashioned fusions I feel sorry for you. I will never do that again. I am seeking the updated tech. Laser etc hope I get cleaned out and won't need a fusion. If your still in pain after one year. I would not wait anymore I would immediately get to another surgeon for a 2nd opinion. If your surgeon didn't get an MRI or a cat scan after u said it still in pain don't do what I did. I believed him and it's too late I am in pain permanently and nerve damage for life too
@@cynthiadudal9301 not old school at all. My T7-8 stuck out an inch. Broken and disintegrated from infection. Way too many issues. Would be paralyzed. I’ve been to several spinal doctors and neurosurgeons. Just don’t see any information on thoracic fusion, particularly anterior.
I had 2 Harrington rods and spine fusion. I think I died on operating table @ 14yrs old. What happens if the patient stops breathing because of too much anesthesia?
If someone is very modest would you have reps stay out of the room until the patient is draped and asleep also for anesthesia could you ask to only have one anesthesiologist and no assistance and can the patient meet the anesthesiologist and not CRNA if the patient only feels comfortable with the doctor. Would be willing to stay in the room if the patient feels more comfortable knowing you are there until the patient is asleep? Thanks
@@sharonp4446 Excuse me patients have rights and if you enjoy being butt naked good for you and mind your own business I am not speaking with you! Keep your thoughts to yourself if you have nothing good to say! You are not the doctor! I am asking questions to the doctor not you. By the way, I have had 67 surgeries and you have no clue what I have gone through! Be careful what you say! Everyone on here is to learn about what he does not hear you insult someone you don't know!
Supine mri vs weight bearing mri. Studies show supine mri's can miss up to 30% of spinal injuries and many patients are left misdiagnosed and untreated. How important are abnormal EMG findings when findings from supine mri shows nothing?
“Up here is where anaesthesia plays sudoku” had me! Love it. Working in ED have never been inside a theatre like this…Appreciate the opportunity :)
Glad you enjoyed it!

I hope my hip joint pain can be cured, it must be a little simpler than spine surgery. This video has given me hope that my bones can be repaired.

I make jokes but they r needed, they have extra tools, and sets that are needed. Maybe not it very basic cases but their skill set is important
