Wee Query

[jennyjoan]

Some weeks ago friend got polyps removed from her womb and was successful. Anyway I asked how she got on and she said well since I was knocked out etc - I just have a bit of uncomfortableness in my throat where they put the tube down.

Now I was knocked out years ago for a broken arm but don't remember any thing down my throat. Do any of you know what she is talking about.

She may have been intubated during surgery.

Yes.....I know what she is talking about.

It is an endotracheal tube which is put down the throat to maintain anaesthesia.

[Sqad]

There you go......even confirmed by the internet. ^^^

I thought this was going to be about urine colour :-)

[Sqad]

LOL...I have just got it......WEE.

[jennyjoan]

LOL at the WEE - absolutely wetting myself.

Yes your link says it all Mamy - there ya go - ya learn every day.

Her brother has to go for blood injections (she or he doesn't know) but the one thing brother has informed her - Bet - there's nothing going up me or down me and that's for sure. Friend - Ach don't be such a bloody wimp LOL - I then asked well what's happening with him - Ach I couldn't tell ya. Unbelievable.

[ummmm]

You don't get knocked out that way for a broken arm. They insert a cannula and knock you out that way.

The tube down would be so they could remove the polyps.

From the womb?

[Sqad]

ummmm...thank you, but it has already been answered AND confirmed by a link.

it was 1998 when I broke the arm and got 2 pins and a plate put in. Initially they frozed the arm and then proceeded to operate - I wasn't having it and asked to be knocked out - they then gave me a bumper of valium. So no Ummmm - no canula - just remembered coming round with my arm up in the air and sis and bros looking sadly at me as if I was about to croak it.

[ummmm]

Everytime I've gone under I've had a cannula inserted.

[Rockrose]

I'm having an operation in a few weeks and was told they will knock me out via a cannula.

[Sqad]

"Knocking one out" and maintaining anaesthesia are two completely different aims and techniques.

[Rockrose]

ok

[ummmm]

I'm waiting for an appointment to have polyps removed. It will be a cannula for sedation and numbing spray for the throat.

I've had the procedure done before for them to discover the polyps.

[Sqad]

ummmm.....you are not singing from the same hymn sheet......the OP is about cervical polyps ( vagina and all that jazz) and you keep going on about nasal polyps........different operations, different parts of the body and different induction and maintenance of anaesthesia.

I had a large polyp removed from my womb several weeks ago, and I was not put out at all. I was told this is often the case nowadays.
