What dangers are there for surgical sedation in people with liver cirrhosis?


For a facelift, is local anaesthetic (lidocaine) plus sedation a safe option?

A localised anaesthetic is really different to sedation. A localised anaesthetic infiltrates only the area to which is being operated on. Sedation may include some form of drug being injected in the vein. Some drugs have contra indication with people with liver cirrhosis. The Anaesthetist will make the decision on what drug to use if possible.

Dont see why not, when we do liver bx, on people who have liver problems or not, we use local and conscious sedation, no issues...

In most cases sedation is fine best get advice from anaesthetist.
