I was just reading the thread about why patients are to void before a surgery, and I saw a mention of paralytics. Are they used in most surgeries with general anesthesia, or is it case by case? Why would it be used in one situation and not another? It never occured to me that one could have surgery without it, I guess. Or maybe I just thought the sedation was enough to essentially *cause* paralysis during the operation. Hm.
Anyway, what's the deal with anesthesia?
