    I remember being so scared and making the surgeons promise they won't start until I'm asleep because I was convinced the anesthetic won't work on me (I used to have a hard time falling asleep), they asked me to count down and I got to six, blinked, and saw that I was being wheeled out of the surgery room after the operation----bless the amazing souls that build modern medicine

      Why did you believe the anesthetic wouldn’t work on you? It’s literally designed to do that; you can’t fight it. It’s gonna happen no matter how hard you try and no matter what you’re going through in your life. It’s literally chemistry. Probably doesn’t matter who it is, if you’ve been anesthetized, you’re gonna be unconscious.

Since Civil War time this has been the case. It wasn't until after the Korean war that anesthesiologists decided to get away from the laboratories and administer anesthesia (because that is where the $$ was).

They told me they were going to give me the "courage medicine" and asked me to count down from ten. I got to nine, and next thing I knew I was waking up in a different room laughing my head off for no reason.

    Nothing is crazier than a c-section though. A major surgery where you are wide awake but the anesthesiologist is there with you the whole time. I was so scared that my anesthesiologist’s main job was to hold my arms down because I was shaking so terribly, and then as soon as my son was born, he had to give me a very high dose of pain medicine to stop the tremors. He was my hero that day. Sat there and calmed me down by saying how often he did this procedure and how it’ll just take a couple of minutes and then I’ll be a mommy. It was so scary and beautiful at the same time. Hard to describe.

      Dylan - It doesn’t really happen in US.. If you’re in pain or distress, we could tell by your vitals. Your brain waves are also being monitored to tell depth of anesthesia (BiS monitoring). You are paralyzed.
      But we’d know if something was wrong and you were awake. Awareness is like 1 in 10 million. And most of the cases are in India or other countries and involve some doctor who doesn’t know what he’s doing or isn’t monitoring.

      @@Reading_Modeler I’ve just come out of surgery an hour ago & I thought I would let you all know how it went. I was super anxious when I was admitted into the hospital, to the point of shaking.
      I spoke to the anaesthetist who was super nice & he told me, ‘don’t listen to the movies/TV, you are safe. If you were very elderly or sick then maybe it might be complicated but you will be great!’ He explained what would happen & the process & he was super friendly. He really put me to ease.
      When I went into the Operating Theatre, my anxiety hit the roof. It was really intimidating. Again the anaesthetist saw me & said “this is our day job. Same way that you are good at your day job, we do this all the time.” His assistant put in a IV line in my arm which hurt a little bit, the anaesthetist said “don’t look at that & give my hand a squeeze.” I squeezed his hand & then they got me on the table.
      He asked “have you had a drink before?” & I said yes. He then said “im going to give you a couple of glasses of wine.” Immediately he injected a solution in my arm. I felt something cold running through my veins but it was wasn’t unpleasant. It made me feel tipsy. I then said I have a “Friday Night Buzz” he laughed and the gently put the gas mask over my head. I breathed in twice & the next thing I knew, I was in the recovery room! The nurse woke me up & told me the procedure was done! I didn’t believe her! I wasn’t in any pain & I felt strangely refreshed - like I came off a good nap! I was in the OR for under 2 hours & it felt like seconds. The anaesthetist came around & told me the procedure went well & he told me not to worry! Im currently on a saline drip to hydrate me & I’ve had a bite to eat. I had sleepless nights worrying about this but I shouldn’t have. Very weirdly, I had a great experience!
      Anyone reading this, please, please do not worry. GA is a miracle of science. These guys are highly trained & it’s their day job to get you through surgery.

      Is called anesthesia awareness. During it you are conscious, and feel every bit of pain, and you can't saying anything or do anything to let them know about it because they give you a drug that paralyzes you. Eventually they will notice when your heart rate sky rockets, but by then the damage has been done. Going into my surgery this was my only fear. My friend had this happen to them before, and they are pretty traumatized by the whole thing.

    Getting anesthesia is one of the best experiences I've had in life. It's fascinating to me how it works. The IV goes in, a couple seconds later you feel a fuzziness in your head, then see white and the next minute someone is telling you to wake up. Fainting provides the same exact effect. It's unfortunate they both happen under not so pleasant circumstances. If only sleep could be THAT uninterrupted. You don't hear anything, see anything, think about anything, feel anything, nothing.

      I had my first (and currently only) surgery about a year ago and I was under local anaesthesia (some was injected into my left arm and I also inhaled the gas). I had a pretty similar experience to yours; I remember everything being almost fuzzy, a little like TV static or a “stuck” tape, my eyelids becoming increasingly hard to keep open and also a sudden increased sensitivity to sound. Eventually, I gave in and shut my eyes and everything was dark- next thing I knew, I woke up half conscious as two nurses were about to wheel me back to the ward.
      Honestly the experience was pretty trippy, but being under anaesthesia isn’t so bad. I wouldn’t mind having another surgery if I absolutely had to.

    I'm a female teen who just had her first surgery, I remember being absolutely terrified for it - the general idea of surgery and anesthetics to me seemed so painful and daunting.
    Anesthesia works like a charm, the drug dosages for you are all carefully pre calculated by the anesthesiologist prior to the operation, so the chances of you waking up during surgery, or not waking up after are really really rare, besides, the anesthesiologist and nurses will be carefully monitoring your vital signs during surgery. If you're under general anesthesia (which I was) you will not feel pain at all or remember a single thing, and the surgeons/doctors/nurses are all professional so you are in good hands during the surgery.
    I remember the doctor saying, "We're going to start", and within 3 seconds, I fell asleep and the next thing I know is that I'm in the recovery room.

      Jay Kay The neurotoxicity of propofol, des, iso, and sevoflurane is very low. Nitrous oxide is neurotoxic (though the consensus on this is still debated somewhat).
      It’s less about damage and more about temporarily inhibiting your consciousness, within the brain.. Actually all of the mechanics and pharmacodynamics haven’t been worked out yet, en total. But it works so we use it..

    • @nicholas8476
      @nicholas8476 5 років тому +36

      Jay Kay Yes, there are people who experience postoperative cognitive decline or postoperative delirium. It’s one of the things I studied. For the most part, I believe these people had preexisting mild cognitive impairment that is exacerbated by the endocrine changes in the immediate post-operative days. Those that experience longer term problems (3-6 months) almost always recover full cognition to baseline, by 6 months.

    When I was under anesthesia for Appendicitis, I wasn't told to count from 10. In actuality, I was just chatting it up with the surgeons, before the next thing I knew, I was in a bed in a completely different room. On top of that, unlike everyone else who seems to have had a calmer experience after the surgery, I was in complete and utter agony from where I had my appendix removed, so much so that the first sounds out of my mouth were LITERAL SCREAMS OF PAIN.
    At least later on we traced it to improper application of stitches, but that definitely made an already horrible christmas even worse.

When I woke up, my mouth and lips were all puffy, and I felt all weird. Luckily, I recovered from the anesthesia within 6 or so hours, compared to my older sister at the same time, she felt fine within 3 hours. Quite the weird experience indeed :D
    PS: To anyone about to have their wisdom teeth removed, the only pain I ever felt was the IV before, and extraction itself is not stressful if you know how it will go. Facing the truth is the best way that I found helped me with all of the pre-emptive anxiety. You'll be fine, trust me :)

    I've been under anesthesia 3 different times in my life so far for 3 different procedures. Was nervous the first time, but wasn't scared at all the next 2 times. The next 2 times, I literally thought to myself, "Hey, if they screw up or kill me by accident on the table, I won't even feel it anyway". Kind of comforting in a sense if you're worried about dying during an operation under anesthesia. Kind of an ideal way to go. It's really a state of non-existence, probably a lot like death. Just lights out and no sense of being. At least that's how it was for me all 3 times.

Was a bit frightening to say the least. But the chunk of time when I was under was instantaneous non existentance/time travel. It’s like you step outside of time. Thought maybe I would have an out of body experience but there was just nothingness. They say general anesthesia is as close to death you can get without actually dying.

      @@stratmancruthers Wow, that's an unpleasant way to wake up from surgery. That's gotta be scary. I'd ask them to put me back under anesthesia until they took the tube out. haha. Not that they would.
      I believe that about being as close to death without actually dying. That's a comforting thought to me if that's what death is like. I mean an afterlife of heaven and being reunited with loved ones is great in theory. But I can deal with a state of non-existence. No pain, no bills, no expectations. Just nothingnesss. Just means to try to enjoy life while you're awake for it.

      @@steelersdontcometokansassa3257 I think that's natural to be more scared when you're that young. I probably was too at your age. And rightfully so. You've still got so much life to live and you're only getting started. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but for me, when I started getting into my mid 30's, I started taking on a lot more responsibilities and headaches in life with not much reward to show for it. So in my mind, no afterlife and death means escaping a lot of BS and curve balls that life threw at me and that's a nice thought sometimes. And as gloomy or sad as that may sound, it does make me think to try to enjoy things even the more so. Try your best not to let life get you down and try to enjoy it while you can. You're only starting out. And like I said in my initial post, if you're ever having surgery and going under anesthesia, don't be worried at all. You won't feel a thing when you're under.

    I never had surgery in my life until six months ago when I needed an emergency bypass (genetics, what are you gonna do?) I remember the anesthesiologist in Pre-Op telling me he was going to give me something that will make me “feel like I just had a few cocktails”. After that, I remember saying goodbye to my wife and getting wheeled into the hall. I was out before I even saw the OR. Next thing I know, what felt like two seconds later, I was seeing my wife’s face in the ICU telling me I did great and it was time to wake up. I had no sense that eight hours had elapsed. It was pretty impressive and I obviously had a very good anesthesiologist!

      For me, falling asleep felt at first like I could not breath, but then I realized that I could breath, except the air was very thin. I felt heavy, and voices blended together and sounded far away, like a dream. Then the voices came like clockwork, loud then soft, then loud again. They all faded with my conciseness and I feel asleep. I woke up later in the post E.R room. Waking up was hard. I felt so tired and kept falling back asleep. This is the best way I could think of to describe my anesthetic experience. P.S I received a mask of sleep gas first and then an I.V.

    This is just one of the many advancements of science we forget to be thankful for. Without anesthesia even relatively routine but critical surgeries that we (or at the least a family member) have had would be basically impossible. Even just fixing a complex break in a bone could not be done. Without this, one of my parents would be dead or in chronic pain, and the other would have a crippled arm.
    The lesson is: Don't take things for granted. Appreciate how far we have come and how much science has helped us in our lives.

    My anaesthetic journey was quite funny. Walking to theatre I was getting SO nervous, when I got there there were like 4/5 nurses/doctors they were all distracting me and prodding and poking me it was all happening so fast, one of them snuck in an injection of something then I had to lay down and breathe through this mask and they asked me are you feeling a bit sleepy? And I said nope, not feeling sleepy at all. Next thing I know I’m being woken up about 5 hours later and I vaguely remember saying weird stuff and taking ages to come around so they gave me oxygen and I told the nurse she was amazing because her hours were long and I felt bad and she said she didn’t work long hours and I was like oh. It was so weird and funny but the relief in waking up and having no recollection whatsoever was just mad!!

Next thing I remember after that is someone using the word “coherent” about 8 hours later when asking if I’d woken up yet just as I was coincidentally waking.
      My second surgery was on my knee and was mid-morning - I remember talking briefly about my birthday (again - I have no idea why) and then waking up in *terrible* pain as the anesthesia wore off.
