BOSTON (UPI) The amount of surgery performed in a doctor’s office or in clinics has jumped 90 percent since 1970 resulting in large savings but a specialist says such procedures require patients responsible for their own care Of particular concern is the anesthesia “Although outpatient surgery is considered minor there is no such thing as minor anesthesia" said Richard G Ouellette president of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists Anesthesia is one of the most unpredictable aspects of surgery today Particularly in relatively uncomplicated surgery such as appendectomies or tonsillectomies anesthesia is the single major cause of death and complications Therefore patients scheduled —Do not eat or drink anything including medicine after midnight on the day before surgery —Do not take any medicine including aspirin and sleeping aids before surgery unless told to do so by your doctor —Notify your doctors of any changes in condition no matter how minor before surgery Changes could indicate an underlying infection or something else that might complicate the surgery Once the surgery has been performed Ouellette has the following four recommendations: —Arrange for a responsible adult to accompany you home and stay with you —Watch for signs such as nausea or vomiting which are minor effects of the anesthetic for 24 hours following surgery —Do not drive a car or to undergo surgery not will when machinery operate they particularly —Do not drink alcohol or take be hospitalized before or after the procedure should be very any medicine that has not been careful to follow their doctor’s recommended by your doctor for use after surgery instructions Ouellette says precautions particularly sleeping pills or patients should take before tranquilizers Ouellette said people sched undergoing surgery include: uled to undergo surgery whether inride hospitals or out should also know as much about their own medical history as possible “The patient has a big responsibility for giving correct information and providing the anesthetist with everything they need to know about their health" he said In particular patients should know what medications they have been taking — bring in the bottles if you are not sure — and what previous surgery you have had and what complications if any there were “Outpatients are on the ‘honor system’ before and after surgery because the anesthetist trusts them to follow the pre-an- d recommendations" said Ouellette “If patients do so the anesthetic procedure should be free of complications If they do not they place themselves at risk" post-operati- !Animoi ZLnszVers Military news Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross He is manager of Miller’s Northern Utah Glass in Logan Maj Barry Bodily of Logan was recently appointed commander of Weapons Systems Security Flight He received a graduate degree in accounting from Utah State University in 1979 Maj Bodily’s awards and decorations include the Air Force Commmendation Medal Acheivement Medal Outstanding Unit Award Longevity Service Award Armed Forces Reserve Medal Air Reserve Now you know By United Press International American novelist and short story writer Willa Cather won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel “One of Meritorious Service Ours" a celebration of the Small Arms Expert courage and strength of frontier Forces Medal Marksmanship (1876-194- in 7) 1922 Ribbon and settlers WE MOVE FURNITURE O AS 7& 1 Room 1995 I I ThrolO15M BamM CALL NOW FOR APPOINTMENT 70 "7523683 " " " 2431 N 300 E COFYMGHTlAINBOW MTERNATIONAl Logan CA1WIT OYBNG V a Uptah fared CLEANttiG CO 1981 95 West 1 900 North Large animal needs are handled by Dr James Gibson Dr Paul Sanders and Dr Scott Tripp while small animals are handled by me Open: 8am-6pMon thru Fri until Noon Sat appointments m preferred I CLEANING CO ft Service Marks Owned and licensed by loinbow Carpet Dyeing I Cleaning Co E 752-215- DON’T PAY!
