How does anesthesia work? - Steven Zheng 

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.

@@zt-r808 it’s just a fear like for me I also get scared that the medicine isn’t going to work even tho it is

@@zt-r808 Some people have woken up before. Its just a fear.

Lol I'm also afraid that it won't work on me because I have problem to fall asleep and hard to stay in. Imagining wake up during the surgery is so scary lol.

@@zt-r808 is there a data how many percentage of anasthesi works to put people into unconscious ?.is it 99 percent ?.

Hope you will be okay

lizzie r I wish you very good luck, make sure you don't get too nervous and it'll be fine. If you comment on this video again we will know you made it. 🙂

If he doesn't answer, we know :(

Hope you get better soon

Are we allowed to wear undies in appendectomy? I'm worried about that 😬

Thanks love! Getting surgery in a few days and I'm most nervous about the anasthesia!

Thank you. I have a surgery tomorrow

Thanks

I think everyone reacts in their own manner to being put under anesthesia.

Omg 😁

@@sina892 “bro go back to sleep ur surgery ain’t done” “Ok” **passes out**

Hmmm... It's weird, because your vitals are supossed to be monitored. I mean, they should have noticed you were outside of It before that could happen. Like HR increase or breathing pattern alteration.

Does it go by fast?

I just got a surgery recently, funny thing is i woke up with the half anesthesia still in my body and i was feeling like I’m floating.... i kept asking if i was dead

The closest we can get to teleportation.

@@Healthandwealth9422 simar thing happened me too it means brain duplicates last action

I just had surgery yesterday and I had pretty much the same experience

howd it go?

@@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. Today’s experience removed my fear. Guys you will be ok. Believe me - I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.

@@KhemistrySet got a colonoscopy coming up this month, I'm generally good with anxiety. Not much really gets to me, but being put under...my anxiety is peaking right now. The procedure is in two weeks. Wish me luck 🙏🏽

When I was a teenager I had surgery and a nervous breakdown afterwards. Twenty years later I told this the anesthesiologist when another surgery was done and said I would like to wake up in a good mood. I don't know what he gave me, but I woke up happy and refreshed. It was amazing.

same here XD

I woke uo having to pee really bad and I climbed out of my hospital bed like a boss and tried to not fall asleep as I went to do my business lmao

Bro I had 3 impacted wisdom teeth so I had to go completely under for surgery. He asked me what my name was, I told him, and then he poked the needle in.

I was awake for both c sections, given spinal blocks.

@@ax3247you absolutely are awake for a c section unless it’s an emergency. I was awake for my c section. You get spinal anesthesia…. It numbs you from the waist down.

​​@@ax3247 In the civilised world, you're awake during C-section. They gave you epidural anesthetic, so you feel nothing the waist down.

I had thyroidectomy last year. I had a good experience. To me, anesthesia felt like a really long and slow blink. Then it felt like sleeping in on the weekend.

Rich people can afford it. Propofol is what Michael Jackson (allegedly) died of. Such people have to be monitored overnight. I've had propofol once and I agree - you wake up feeling SO rested 👍

I didn't experience fuzziness in my head or see white, lol. The doctors just had me count backwards from 10 and I passed out within a few seconds, lol.

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.

that deep sleep you wax poetic about is effectively death.

Really, the majority of anesthesia is given by nurse anesthestist not anesthesiologists.

They make 6 figures a year

@@gilesbowman1189 no

@@gilesbowman1189 not in the UK and many other countries

@@gilesbowman1189 In other countries you would not be not correct, however within the US, more anesthesia will be administered this year (2022) by CRNAs (nurse anesthetists) than anesthesiologists. 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 still haven't caught up with us yet. Yes, I am a CRNA.

The thing is you barely meet them, they put you out and when you awake they're already gone

+eBatatas ..just like surgeons :D

+Gwydda no, they usually go see you afterwards to see if the results were as expected

eBatatas You might be right, but curiously I have no recollection of my surgeon, but I still remember the anaesthetist's voice and face :D

Simlar experince with wisdom teeth remove execpt i was in the same room and I felt no pain. I could not remember them putting me under then I timed travel in the future like feeling. The clock in front of me changed time and I waslike what???.

I'm about to get it but it seems horrific..

Yup same thing happened to me, woke up and immediately felt the worst pain i had ever felt in my life, it was nauseating and i felt like vomiting and Everytime i would gag it would hurt even more because i was involuntarily flexing my abdomen, everybody immediately started to rush to me and they injected me with something that made me calm down and pass out again, when i woke up again it was a lot better.

@@NetWebUser its a really cool experience if you arent in pain after, i also felt like i time traveled when i got my wisdom teeth removed

It is made up in peoples' minds during the process. We anesthesiologists don't tell anyone to "count back from 10". LOL.

do you have wisdom teeth? if so, you'll eventually have to have surgery, and hopefully it'll be the only surgery

Don’t worry too much about it. You will not notice the surgery itself. You’ll just close your eyes in one room and open them in another room.

@@thedoublessymbol I had oral surgery for bad teeth removal. However I'm rare only one wisdom tooth ever developed. Deep up in my gums. Dentist said he wasn't worried about it. So I'm not full of wisdom. It is rare. So happy indeed.

Wow brain surgery, I’m only getting my wisdom teeth removed and I’m scared

@@ikindoflikemangoes4951 When do you get it done ? I wish you the best of luck though !

What was the recovery like?

Yup, you don't even remember a thing from surgery. Those long hours are removed from memory forever 🙄

denise m. My experience is different though. I do still dream and when I wake up, I can't move my body for awhile.

thats how it was for me!! i was super excited but i dont even remember being given the anesthetic. i just remember sitting in a chair then waking up in a bed and trying to get up but the nurses kept being like "no lay back down"

Sounds like some people dream and others don’t. I didn’t dream under anaesthesia, but my sister did (supposedly)

Yes it’s so weird! I’ve been under twice now and each time everyone is rushing around and someone is asking you to count down. Then your whole world goes dark and suddenly you hear ambient noises and are awake in another room.

What...? Stay away!!!!! AAAAAAAH... Oh... Is the surgery done already? Whoa...! What just happened?

lol

I've thought about that too! But I'm sure they track your heart rate during the surgery, and when you're stressed (like if you're in pain during surgery for some reason) your heart rate would elevate and the doctors would probably think something was wrong

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.

it happens

Why you should research the anesthesiologist before your surgery. Just like I assume you would with your surgeon as well

I was wondering the same thing. People are bizarre.

maybe kids who are little brats who thought this was a cartoon show but it wasn't lol or just people who would like to stay ignorant so they block out important information.

Salt everywhere, that's why.

Because so people hate information and love ignorance, and anything that may somehow made them accidentally learn something is to be avoided

LOL!

Jacob Tran I was under anesthesia for a tooth implant thank God cause I couldn't imagine the pain of having something drilled into my jaw and have a screw installed without being knocked out.

@@gracytoyschultz4416 i had one, but i was under local anesthesia. Its not that scary and painful

Seriously, a good anesthesiologist is basically a God. I was so thankful my surgery went so well. I was freaked out beforehand after hearing the horror stories about patients being aware but paralyzed. I kept thanking them and telling them how amazing he took care of me when it was over.

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.

And they rich!

No way

Right On Always

I have a friend that when through surgery and the doctors did a really bad job in general, they damaged a different organ and the anesthesia wasn’t enough so he woke up in the middle of the surgery, he took therapy after that because he used to have nightmares about it

@@ieroine this is awful. hope he got some compensation since the medical team didn’t do their work properly !

@@ieroine same I was giving birth the last time he used to much it felt like I had something stuck in my throat I keep trying to throw up it was scary bug at the same time i couldn’t panic

I fully agree. It’s done more good and alleviated more suffering than just about anything else one can think of.

Totally agree! Getting the dose exactly right for each patient is a real art. I have nothing but admiration for anaesthesiologists. PS. That last word has quite a tricky spelling!

God bless whoever discovered it

Amazing, I guess, but traumatizing.

@@Roadent1241 feeling every cut ia more traumatizing

I'm getting surgery April im a little nervous about the anesthesia are u sure u don't feel anything

Yes. I had a nurse do this too, also held my hand when I asked ❤ made me feel so much safer

My doctor just kept me busy with different questions. Like "what's your favorite toy", "Which school do you go to"

My anesthesiologist told me "I am here beside you". It may not seem like much, but I was very scared for the surgery, and knowing she was by my side helped me!

My last surgery, the lady just said… “you comfy!” I said, “yeah” then she said, “here comes medicine” and she injected my IV and I woke up to her holding an chocolate muffin in my face. It was amazing!

Had a very similar experience. Honest to God relaxed! WOW!

That's not exactly something you might want to be a fan of but gotcha

*Drugs*

Unfortunately i puked all night after anesthesia lol

That's why many anesthesiologists end up using the drugs on them.

😍😍aww yep that's true. For some patients who prefer certain treatments the anesthesiologists won't agree to the surgery and may even tell the patient they'll die without agreeing to the preferred (easier for the md) treatment.

Yea. And they make 400 to 500 dollars per hour.

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ I believe that. I wanted to be an anesthesiologist when I was younger but then I found out you had to go to school for like eight years so I decided to be a dirt farmer.

I have control issues 😶

I confess he was a babe!!!!! So fine.

Well, people can and do die or are permanently damaged because of anesthesia, so it's not always without risk, but yes, it is nice that it can be used in that way.

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..

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.

Same with chemotherapy

@@nicholas8476 I had a near death experience 3 years ago where my heart was shocked back to a normal rhythm 3 times, on life support for 48 hours and have since had 15 general anaesthetics. I definitely have noticed memory issues, but also don't remember what I don't remember, so it's difficult to assess the extent. I do know that a year after I got sick, I was looking through my Facebook and there were around 100 colleagues etc that I could no longer remember and would have walked past in the street. But given that I have never added random strangers, these were all people I had met and worked shifts with as aircrew. My personality has also changed dramatically. Do any studies cover damage from frequent exposure?

Raymond Smith I’m about to have surgery to have a hernia repaired

@@spliiit4036 First 3 days after surgery are pretty bad but here are a few things that will greatly reduce the pain immediately after: Don't sneeze or cough if you can help it. Take your laxatives because the anesthesia causes really bad constipation. Have someone around to help you rise from bed in the morning by pulling you up. Keep a bucket near your bed so you can at least pee without needing to get up to the bathroom. By day 4 you should be able to go for short walks a few times a day. By day 10 you should be able to basically live a semi normal life. That's how it went down for me.

Raymond Smith what do you mean a semi normal life

@@spliiit4036 I'm very active. I hit the gym 5 days a a week, lift, run, I have a job that requires constant walking. I had to forgo all that for 4 weeks. That's all I meant.

It's been 5 years and it's like the surgery never happened except for a very light scar about 5 inches long. I am currently 48.

so like king crimson

At the height of inhalation anesthesia they injected me in the neck with fentanyl and I felt extremely horrible pain from the left side of my neck down my left side to the arch of my left foot.

But that risks the chance of feeling of getting kicked in the nuts but it is everywhere in your body

Nah, I’m pretty sure most hospitals now have machines that check your brain waves/ heart beats during all surgeries (especially ones that require anesthetics). So, even if that does happen (which is very very very unlikely) , they’ll notice that your heart beat/brain waves are abnormal and know that something’s wrong immediately, although I’m not sure what happens after that. They’ll probably put you back to sleep with a slightly stronger dose.

This actually happens a lot. Propofol is an amnesiac, so most people don’t even remember.

My last surgery, my eyelids were fluttering (a sign before you wake up) during the procedure. They had to give me more and the doctor said that I wouldn’t be myself for a little while more.( I never actually woke up)

My first surgery was an emergency appendectomy at about midnight - I remember talking briefly about my birthday after getting injected, after which I remember rousing enough post-surgery to mumble a complaint about (of all things) the finger-clip oxygen monitor before just plain falling asleep on my own. 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.

I was seven when i first got anasthesia i was amased

Yea
