Your Anaesthetic

[@StewartWaddell]

What an excellent professional and reassuring video

[@snoopyfan07]

Very useful, I’ve just had my first ever operation and I wish I’d had found this before, tbh though the needle in the hand was the thing I was most nervous about as I’ve never had one there before and I’m terrified of needles... after that I wasn’t too concerned as it was a low risk surgery, but this is very interesting to know what goes on and it’s pretty accurate too for within the NHS.

[@danielle3586]

did the IV hurt?

[@snoopyfan07]

Danielle a little but it wasn’t really that bad, I’d say having a needle in your arm is worse, plus you’re put to sleep pretty soon after having the needle in your hand so you don’t really have the time to think about it lol. For me the worst was coming around from the anaesthetics as that hit me pretty hard, but I think that was just because of my small build. Hope that helps and hope it goes well.

No need to be worried its very simple go in get your anesthesia and then you wake up like nothing ever happened

[@shanedanamccutcheon3097]

But some people with learning disabilities and Austim be scared

[@staciebrown6974]

This is a great idea and for people that are having surgery

[@candywilson3884]

Have you had surgery? How did this compare to your anesthesia experience?

[@servicedogs1429]

Why does the UK put people to sleep outside of the operating rooms I would think this would cause way more work. I’ve never understood that because then you have to transfer for a unconscious person onto an operating bed instead of having the person get comfortable before they’re put to sleep on the table

[@ednabmode9223]

I think it probably depends on what you are having done. I had an operation at the hospital that made this video and I went under on the operating table. It was a fairly short, non-major operation. However, my next one will be a major operation and, so I gather, I will be given the general anaesthetic outside of the operating theatre and then taken in. Perhaps it varies between hospitals and what you're having done.

Once you are on the operating room, bed you are not moved onto another one

[@mariamkinen8036]

Thank you for this. I need special attention. In case I win my case.

Propofol have me a nightmare and I woke up crying. They also told me I said some disturbing things when I woke up and asked me about that. I got more upset about that! I don't think that was the 'light' sedation I was promised!

[@ventilator98]

Well, medications like Propofol, Ketamine, and Versed do that on occasion! And it's obvious that you didn't mean what you said. You were simply under the influence of the medications, and some eople act rather unusual when they're waking up from the administration of these medications. I've done that. I've had Versed and I was told later I was fiddling with another patient's IV Pump whilst I was waiting for the Anesthesiologist to take me back to the Operating Room.

[@FlashCave31]

I thought you don't dream on General Anesthesia

[@KatJ3st]

@@FlashCave31 it wasn't 'general' anesthesia, it's for day surgery - considered 'light sedation' but often with a big kick in the dream department just before you wake up. It was likely the Ketamine they weren't supposed to use on me. That fact surprised the heck out of the anesthesiologist when I had my hip surgery later that year. I told him about the Prop/Ket mix for day surgery and he was like 'WHAT????'. So from then on I tell the staff I have an allergy to Ketamine.

I took a few deep breaths of oxygen and two hours later I woke up

Yes, you have a choice of trolley... Asda, Morrisons, or Sainsburys.

What happen to 6:34

[@mayfield3343]

Rosiana Lou I think she was just intubated, people get it when they get general anesthesia so they can breathe during the procedure

[@user-ii6bb9hr5u]
