One of the most significant risks associated with alcohol consumption before surgery is the potential for withdrawals after the procedure. These withdrawals can lead to delirium, seizures, and even death. Additionally, alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of bleeding during and after the surgery, which can prolong recovery time and lead to additional complications.
Another risk associated with alcohol consumption before surgery is the impact it can have on the immune system. When the immune system is compromised, it can lead to poor wound healing and an increased risk of infection.
Alcohol consumption can also lead to cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle becomes thick and stiff, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. This can lead to heart failure and other serious health complications.
However, there is hope for those who struggle with alcohol addiction. Psychedelic components in anesthesia, such as ketamine, have been shown to have potential in the treatment of addiction and can be explored before and during surgery and anesthesia as a way to support the healing process.
It's important to have an open and honest conversation with your surgeon and anesthesiologist about your alcohol consumption and any history of addiction before your surgery. Together, you can make a plan to minimize the risks and ensure a safe and successful recovery. This video will give you a better understanding of the serious side effects associated with alcohol consumption before and during surgery and how psychedelic component of anesthesia can help in healing addiction and improve overall health.

Sober here almost five years and it was impossible to not drink before a surgery I had to have. I was also too embarrassed to say anything. Thank you for making this video. Recovery is possible❤
I had just taken a month long break because my liver enzymes were up. I got my lab results saying that they were back to normal three days before a biopsy and hit the bottle again immediately. No medical professionals know I drink. Before that break it had been three years without skipping a day of downing at least a fifth of vodka a day. Clearly it’s a choice for me. I just hate sobriety. Alcohol benefits me in endless ways. I hope you manage to kick the habit if you want to.
@@Rattlsnke I’ve been sober almost five years 💚
@@jamiespiritualmedium Congratulations! I’m so proud of you! It’s definitely not easy in the least. Just realized you already said that in your original comment, my bad. >.
@@Rattlsnke That’s okay! It def was not something I ever thought I would be… Sober. As I am learning, never say never 😅
I also like this livestream very much. Thankyou Doc! I don’t drink alcohol myself, and sometimes I feel judged because I don’t like it. I don’t have problems with others drinking though.
You're not alone! It's always healthy to not judge others 👍
Your lifestyle is ok, but you feel judged because you are judged.
Such a good guy. Perfect doctor. Thank you for existing.
Good live stream! I don’t drink alcohol, my brother drinks, I learned so much! You rock man! Happy anesthesiologist Physician week! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy when i graduated high school in 08 because of my cerebral palsy! You rock man! I’m 33 from Memphis
Thank you in advance!
@@MedicalSecrets you welcome, I really wanted to be a anesthesiologist
I have a Dr. K. folder, I've been saving the OR videos to help with my OR SEVERE anxiety... we shall see how it goes with my upcoming surgery.... I have a folder so I don't have to hunt down the OR videos... hope I don't sound creepy, but they DO help with my anxiety
That's so great to hear, especially because there are no known side effects from that anxiety treatment!
@@MedicalSecrets yeah, when I first found your youtube channel, I was searching for how to control your anxiety and your video popped up, binge watched for almost 3 hours lol, wish more Dr's thought like this around my area, last one I had was a tad bit stiff, like alright let's get this over with, onto the next, nice Dr's but felt rushed, which didn't help with my anxiety
me too
it helps all the time
I wish you the best!
I drank and was hung over the morning of my partial hysterectomy. I honestly didn't want to wake up from surgery. I was really dehydrated and had really bad diareah the next day. I went through with it. I told a lot of people to fuck off, including my husband after waking up. I was so angry.
I have a question. For alcoholics it can definitely impact surgery and anesthesia
what about folks who drink mild/moderately. Like the people who have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer or two most evenings.
Of course able to stop a few weeks before and after surgery just curious of the effects
I had hernia surgery on July 12th. I’ve found that even a little bit of alcohol has been punching me in the face since then. This video really did explain a lot.
Can't stand alcohol. Wish it never made it passed prohibition. Not sorry. That sh\T destroyed our mother which destroyed our family. The only positive is NONE of us 4 children consume alcohol. We have seen what it has done. It's brutal. Thank goodness none of us are addicts to alcohol/drugs.
Doc, nice informative video....but the mic in front of your face....
Wow thank you for the information
For sedation on a nose procedure how far in advance should I stop and should it be total cessation
Another amazing live!🌟
Thank you!
That is all good BUT how do you get help?
Help for what?
If you can't wean yourself off, Go get clinically detoxed then go straight to rehab! I don't drink hard liquor anymore. Haven't for years. I do however drink beer. Since retirement I've gotten in the habit of drinking 3 to 6 beers a day. Cutting down now. Good luck and God bless all!
Im so worried I have ovarian cyst surgery in 7days I am drinking 10 beers a day and sometimes wine. Im worried about going into withdrawal. Im planing to quit 2 days beforehand. I am so ashamed of myself and need of some advice. I know I can go 2 days before without a problem, but my god this is horrible. Any advice
U help mew so much Im getting a knock knee surgery in march can you please make a video on that
Let's talk about it on the next live stream!
I stopped 3 days before hopefully that still works
For the patient or the Dr????
I have auto carb decease that means if I eat carbs I get drunk sometimes 5 times the limit and it takes 3 days to get out of my system
Answer to your question...probably depends if its patient or doctor......
They had to give me 4 mg fentanyl. Is that alot?
how fat guy like me with 120 kg , is it safe to be under general anesthesia and how long does it take to wake up ?
You might need to do a sleep test if you have sleep apnea.
@@Forreal950 how to do sleep test ?
@@honornoke1383 if you have sleep apnea, you should notify the doctors.
They will make you do a test. Probably not a good idea to have surgery with sleep apnea.
hi
Hey! What's up?
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
😁🙏
Move the mike away from your face!
🍷🍸🍻😀
Well... 😏
Could you, please, put this microphone in some different position? When it's covers almost a half of your face is really annoying, like hiding from your audience.
I think it has since changed in subsequent videos, no? Thank you for the feedback 🙏
@@MedicalSecretsI'm sorry, I know it's an quite old video, I just joined. You got a very interesting and valuable content!
alcohol is so weird because it's like "yo let's have a little bit of poison and get fucked up" lol. my cardiologist gave me a very stern admonishment to stop drinking now that I have POTS after I passed out standing up and woke up with whiskey vomit in my hair. I miss it sometimes.
Well done for not drinking Michaela!
I agree with @hannah ! 💪
Sorry to hear you have POTS. I have a good friend with that too.
I had a septic chock & got anaphylaxis chock in the ambulance. Then a few hours later l was in a coma. I'm on subutex/buprenorfin, zoplicon, oxascand, pregabalin/lyrica, medicinet(ritaline)/methylphenidate every Day. & I had taken heroin before the ambulance & the drs didn't know wich meds I was on.. I fortunately told them about my meds before I had multi organ failure and ended up on lifesupport. They said I could tolerate wsy more opiates then others.. I wonder, how are they handling it when sedating me? If they don't know all that's in my system how do they dosage the propofol etc? I had intrusive an non intrusive vent and was on RASS 5..
Drinking alcohol makes it much harder to go to sleep, and then you toss and turn and don't get a good test. Wake up feeling like crap.
Myth.
Also, drinking coffee just makes yoU MORE drunk!!!
🤕
I like the story about the alcoholic that came in and got a big boost to stop and was able to. It was great. I stopped drinking after a while. I had cravings for a while, but after a couple years, the cravings are gone. I thank God for the strength. It was really difficult, and I'm really glad that I decided that I didn't want to use it any more.
WOOHOO! FINALLY nailed a live stream! 1st lol
