What If You Wake Up During Surgery? 

... what were the last seconds before you blacked out before an operation like? I literally died of laughter when counting from 10-0... 😂 🤪

I woke up during my surgery while having bullets removed and I said “I’m awake” and the anesthesiologist leaned over me and said “not for long” and hit me with another dose. That was it. No pain. No panic.

wakes up in surgery: *Record scratch, looks at camera* “So you’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation”

Imagine getting sleep paralysis while going through surgery

“Tf you doing put my lung back”

Tf put my heart back

"This video is disturbing to watch." I'm pretty sure that I could watch someone getting brutally tortured in this animation.

Me: **wakes up during surgery** Me: >.> Doctors:

Around 2010-2011, I broke my left shoulder, so it required surgery. I remember getting prepared to go in. I also remember the anaesthesia mask being placed on my face. Next thing I know during surgery, I was opening my eyes and everything blurry. And I remember seeing a couple of blurry figures around me. Then I heard someone say "ahhh I think we need more anaesthesia, he's waking up". Was kind of weird, but things happen.

Thats why all surgeons have a special tool called a "club" its used to induce sleep within 1-9 whacks...if your lucky

Me: *wakes up during surgery* Also me: *looks forward to calling a lawyer to get a million bucks in damages*

Me: **watches this video** Also me: **gets an ad saying WHO IS DEAD?**

I’ve actually woken up during surgery. In 2016 I had to get a pacemaker & woke up as they were doing in. I heard noises I couldn’t comprehend & started crying. The nurses held my hand & gave me more medicine to knock me out again. I still have nightmares from it. The nurses were so helpful through every part of my surgery even if I was completely freaked out the whole time

Patient: I was awake during my surgery! Doctor: No you weren't. Patient: You were listening to this specific type of music and complaining about your wife. Doctor: *look of terror*

Bro, My Aunt had to go through surgery awake and she had to FEEL the pain. It was to restart her immune system... *Atleast it worked.*

Me : Wakes up in middle of surgery Also me : 5 more minutes!!

I'm one those persons that actually woke up when doctors were doing surgery on me I cried alot

I actually woke up during surgery. I was just drowsy and i didnt really feel anything and when the doc noticed they increased the dosage and put me under again.

Waking up during surgery.. Me : what did you find doc? Doctor: a heart that loves everybody

One time my dad was getting a surgery and there was a Geico commercial on the TV. They gave him anesthesia and right before he fell asleep the Geico lizard said, “goodnight.” 😂

I woke up in the middle of my wisdom teeth removal surgery. Never felt any pain, but I could definitely feel and hear the drill in my mouth. Only thing I could move was my eyes. Completely paralyzed. The dr leaned down and said I need you to remain calm. I’ve given you more anesthesia than I’ve ever given anyone before. And I’m afraid to give you more. So take a couple deep breaths and try hot remain calm while I finish. Ended up passing back out and woke up in the Post Op room. Super worried for any future surgeries I’ll need in the future 😬

"this would be embarrassing for the doctor for getting caught in a jam session" I been told that surgeon often play music of their choice during surgery to help with stress and focus...

_This has been my life’s greatest question_

Me: *wakes up* Me: Hey bob! Bob: hey billy! ... Me: This hurts.

*wakes up during surgery* "Oh cool! can I see?"

I had live surgery once So why am I watching this (Darp are you scaring me because you guessed the live surgery I had)

Even if it's as rare as 0,0068%, I'm still scared that I might pop up in that 0,0068%, too who knows.

I broke my arm over the summer and I wasn’t awake but when I woke up I remembered every single thing I said and everything everyone else said

Just witnessed my wife push our third child out 3 weeks ago. It’s a messy, but magical experience and makes me love her even more.

My metarnal grand father actually woke up during his leg surgery and the he said some words to doctor which were not to be said in public places 😂😂😂😂😂

Well When you woke Up in the middle of a Surgery say this You:Hey Doc Is it Done?

Doctor: alright we’re just going to put you under anesthesia so you don’t feel a thing! Me: no no, that won’t be necessary Doctor: why not? Me: *falls asleep* Doctor: uhhhhh....

When patient wakes up during surgery doctors:Ummm this is akward Patient:Say sike right now

i woke up in the middle of surgery and the doctor confirmed it

"This video is disturbing to watch" Me: I'm a Final Destination Fan

3:34 I swear August isn't spelt 'Avgust'... 😂

ok imaging being awake in a surgery HECK NO THATS TUFF

I know that brain surgery requires you to be fully awake during the operation.

I’m always slightly relieved when the video starts and it’s this narrator, he has a really captivating way of speaking

I briefly woke up during transplant surgery couldn’t feel a thing, but I felt happy cause I wasn’t dreaming anymore or dead. Fell back to sleep again after a few minutes… I had no idea they put me in a medically induced coma, one minute I was on my way to the child minders next minute I was in a deep sleep thinking I’d never wake up and hearing I may not make it, then an operating table

I woke up during a surgery in my stomach, it wasnt really that bad i just fell asleep again, the pain only came when the surgery was over and the anesthetics worn out.

I just got my wisdom teeth out yesterday and I’m really glad I got anesthesia.

At 15 I had wisdom teeth surgery, and I remember everything being black and intense pain into my gums by the needles, but there was nothing I could do, it only lasted 5 seconds before I blacked out.

Trans man: wakes up during bottom surgery Also trans man: make sure it's big

Me: *wakes up during surgery* Also Me: *Silently watches the physicians as they continue to perform on me.* Keep going, this is getting interesting.

During the 80's there was a Russian scientist in Antarctica who got Appendicitis. Because where he was was so remote, He had to Remove his Own appendix with a pocket knife & no anesthesia.

Me who woke up during surgery: Me: hey I’m awake can you put me back to sleep? Doctor: sure let me get the anestistia Me: no no get that book and read it to me please Doctor: 👁👄👁

I was awake during surgery when i was a young child... It changed my life

I just had my wisdom teeth removed last Thursday, and I was in a sort of twilight state. Didn’t mean I didn’t feel them start on the left side and move to the right, cutting into my head. I remember making noises but avoiding coherent sentences out of fear that that would disrupt the surgery. Thankfully, that was the worst of the pain I faced at all

I woke up during my second rhinoplasty. The memories came back to me in pieces after the surgery. I remember squeezing the nurses hand and telling her I was in pain. She told the anesthesiologist and I drifted off. The nurse confirmed I spoke to her during my surgery and told her I was in pain.

When I was being put under for my appendectomy, I was told to focus on my breathing, and then literally the next thing I knew I was awake in post surgery. I lost all that time as if it never happened, didn't even dream. I did struggle a lot when I first woke up and I think that's because I was nervous about this exact scenario before going under for the first time.

I love your animation so much! I’ve been binge watching your videos for a while now.

I woke up during my wisdom teeth removal and I could hear and feel the teeth getting ripped out but no pain

*wakes up* Surgeon: Ouch that's gonns hurt

I just want to say thank you to all our healthcare professionals!

Thank You so much fro making this video I've been wondering for a while on how this worked

What happens if you wake up during surgery? Well, you certaintly aren't sedated anymore that's for sure.

Me: Reads comments Also me: instantly regrets it

I was fully awake and just had local anesthetic (by choice) from my belly button downwards when I had my knee surgery. I could even see what was going on inside my knee via the screen. The doctor is a friend of mine and during the surgery he sometimes explained me what he was doing. Pretty interesting experience 😁

Oh, Oh! I'm finally special! I was part of that tiny, tiny number. I 'woke up' during a tooth extract/jaw maintenance surgery. I had needed the furthest back molars removed for braces. At the same time, my wisdom teeth were coming in and got 'impacted'. They were trying to go up and were tilted a bit. Plus my jaw just didn't have the room. So my jaw bone was under a lot of pressure and was starting to develop tiny fractures. They had to cut my gums open and remove those wisdom teeth too. I woke up, but I couldn't see, I don't think I opened my eyes. I felt tremendous pressure in the back right of my jaw but no pain and I heard the doctors talking, but even at the time, I didn't remember about what. Just that there were about two men and one woman. Then I went back under, thank Buddha.

They always play music during surgery 😂

Ive actually woken up before during a surgery. All I remember was i murmured more anistetic plz

This actually happened with my mom before when I was born. I was an emergency C section and, it was an emergency, so a lot was going on. She told me she was traumatized for life after that. Apparently, the numbing or anesthesia/pain killers she was given did NOT help very much. She felt very hazy and dizzy and was not able to speak, but she was able to feel everything the whole time. It took the doctors what felt like hours to her (but was probably maybe 10 minutes) to realize that she was fully aware of everything and had to put her under. Can you imagine being cut into and having a child literally taken out of you while being completely aware? In the video, they mention that anesthesia usually isn't used for childbirth but she was in so much pain that they didn't have a choice. My doctors and therapist think that messed me up too. xD I also have a problem with numbing and anesthetics working on me very well. It takes a lot of it and a lot of time to put me under and make me fully numb. When I got my wisdom teeth out, the numbing did NOT work on one side and I felt all of that. It was extremely painful and I probably shed a tear or two. Numbing isn't the same as anesthesia I know but honestly, they are both very scary things when you could possibly be conscious at any time.

2:50 LOL. This really got me laughing! The irony is real here. A genuinely funny moment.

When he did the disclaimer warning I was in the middle of a lvl in doom

My mom had an epidural when she was having me and the doctors did I wrong and the paralyzed her and almost killed her But she’s fully recovered and it’s been nearly 12 years since that happened

great video to watch before my surgery tomorrow 😁

I woke up in many of my surgeries. My body goes through anesthesia quickly, for a dental procedure I woke up during the middle of it, I felt the pain. Then another for my wrist surgery it was towards the end when they were about to the cast on but they knocked me out again. I remember every second of both of them

I remember when i was 6 or 7, i was under surgery for my ear, i was born deaf! I woke up, I can see doctors doing something to my head, but, i was clueless, i kept asking doctors questions! They had enough, so they knocked me out with something in needle, 'tis only thing i remember! xD

i woke up during a bone marrow biopsy, the anesthesiologist realized it almost immediately because i only had my eyes open for a few seconds & all i remember doing was tapping a nearby persons arm. then i was out again

Nice thanks

This happened to me but I didn't feel anything, thankfully. I was calm and knew what was going on so I just listened to their conversations.

You guys truly drop a tremendous amount of content so frequently. Not sure if anyone else on RU-vid comes close.

I woke up during surgury. My anesthesiologist was a boss! I looked up, saw him standing over me. I said "Hi!" and that was it. Nite nite... Back out!

The feeling of a drill in your jaw during wisdom teeth and having your nerves amplified is a very unique sensation when waking mid surgery

Watching this after having a successful operation gives you relief

These videos make me fear for my life more and more, great vids btw

It's crazy how we can have brain surgery while awake, but any other type we're put under. And yes I know, the brain doesn't have any pain recepticles and can only feel it. But still.

I woke up during my hernia surgery. I was awake enough to focus my eyes and ask the doctor if he was almost done yet. His eyes widened and he nodded to the anesthesiologist behind me and I quickly went back under. I just remember feeling pressure and tugging, no pain. I had warned them before surgery that it usually took higher doses for me to achieve the same effect as other people. I learned this during my first hernia surgery 15 years prior. Also when they were first putting me under they told me to count to 20. I think I made it past 50 before I went under. I had a conversation about it with the doctor after that so it definitely was not my imagination. He told me that was the first time that had happened admitted he should have taken me more seriously and would notate it so if I needed surgery in the future it wouldn't happen again.

*I woke up for a second during my heart surgury once*

It happened to my friend he has PTSD now

I had surgery on 21 may and another 2 soon. Pilonidal sinus

When I was young, I was getting tubes put into my ears due to poor hearing. I remember somewhat waking up, theres a smell the mask made and it smelled like bubble gum, and i just remember somewhat seeing the outline of the mask as they put it on my face again. They were playing 80's music. But I never felt any pain. I didnt fully wake but I did come out of it, and it is terrifying just barely realizing what's going on then going back under.

I was out under when I got my wisdom teeth out. I don’t even remember when they gave me the if or whatever, I remember the doctor coming in asking a few things, then next memory I have was vividly waking up for a couple seconds mid operation just very blurry vision couldn’t feel anything then fell back under than eventually came to in the room with the nurse there, just sat in the chair a little bit until I was more coherent and awake, then they gave me my prescriptions, and my dad met me outside the room and the nurse wheel chaired me just in case out to the car.

They tape your eyes closed. You'd just feel locked in. Pain and sensations, you'd hear the conversation bit wouldn't even be able to raise your heart rate to indicate distress. It's happened. The sedatives worn off before the muscle relaxant and anaesthesia. You do patients a disservice by ignoring what they went through when they can reclaim the pain, sensation and converstaions around them.

This was just released but will become a classic, fun!

“Likely” is not enough! 😫

This was with my dad. He woke up to his heart surgery at the age of 15 and it was very traumatic thing for him to witness

Next video I had no food for 30 days this is what happened

I've had multiple cardiac ablations to attempt to correct a heart arrhythmia, and distinctly remember coming to momentarily during one of them. It was the briefest flash of awareness, but as I was conscious in the operating room beforehand, I recognized the setting before quickly being put back under. During a different one, I woke before they finished removing the arterial sheathes through which they fed the wires to perform the ablation. That one was notably less pleasant, as the feeling of those sheathes being removed felt like someone withdrawing a long blade from deep in my stomach out through my groin.

I have woken up during multiple surgeries, including a kidney transplant. I learned to rock my head back and forth to alert them.

Not all anesthesia makes you fall asleep. This happened to me during my wisdom tooth removal. I was enduring it all because my dentist kept assuring mi everything is ok and gave me more anesthesia injections. My feet and legs were shivering throughout the surgery. I felt him break through my teeth and it was the most excruciating thing I have ever felt. So no, it's not just a false memory and anesthesia failing is something that can really happen.

I'm not first I'm not last But when The Infografic Show uploads I click fast

Well, i woke up. But didn't feel anything. Then fell asleep again. Edit: i woke up twice.

We were learning about PTSD in psychology, and my friend said her brother has it I asked her why and she said “he woke up in the middle of a surgery” Aaaand that’s why I clicked this 😅

I woke up twice for appendix surgery. Once while they were shaving my abdomen area (it had burst, 8 inch incision scare n 3 drain tubes). I remember girl above me saying he's awake then gone. Then while in middle of the surgery he yelled he's awake n I felt them inside me. Thankfully didn't hurt but felt weird. They talked to me after surgery about it. I wasn't mad, he saved my life.

This makes my spaghetti and Ikea meatballs even better

What if i woke up in a surgery I screammmmmmmmmmmmm

idk why but i feel sudden pressure on my body as I listen to this

I had hand surgery years ago and I have very little memory of the day, just the doctor telling lame jokes to try to make me laugh then nothing.
