When under anesthesia, you can’t move, form memories, or - hopefully - feel pain. And while it might just seem like you are asleep for that time, you actually aren’t. What’s going on? Steven Zheng explains what we know about the science behind anesthesia.
Lesson by Steven Zheng, animation by Zedem Media.
They tell you “are you ready” and you wake in a different room right after. Freaky feeling
FR.....
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.
@@z2918 It goes by extremely fast and you feel very rested after. When I went under for my wisdom teeth I woke up feeling like I got the best sleep
I had surgery recently. I woke up in recovery counting backwards. The nurse was like "what you doing" I told her "counting like I was told" she then told me my surgery was over hours before.
xD
Thats amazing
How did u remember to do that after u woke up?
god bless u get well soon
@@Healthandwealth9422 simar thing happened me too it means brain duplicates last action
I cut my finger off and during the reattaching surgery I woke up and asked the doctor how it was going. I can still remember all of the faces of the surgical team looking at me wondering why I was awake. I told them I guess I shouldn’t be awake and went back to sleep. Definitely a crazy experience and I do remember being super cold and I think it’s the reason woke up in the first place
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.
@@d43d3 maybe he was just dreaming
if you are getting surgery soon please dont be nervous. I had surgery 3 days ago and was very nervous and getting stressed. when they did my surgery i remember falling asleep and waking up in the recovery room. i was getting nervous for nothing and everything thing went perfect :) i promise you'll be okay, wishing luck to everyone
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!
@@NM-lj1iqsameeee
Thank you. I have a surgery tomorrow
Thanks
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.
@@badolllenslvr it’s just a fear like for me I also get scared that the medicine isn’t going to work even tho it is
@@badolllenslvr 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.
@@badolllenslvr is there a data how many percentage of anasthesi works to put people into unconscious ?.is it 99 percent ?.
heart surgery in two days! wish me luck! i'm pretty nervous :(
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. 🙂
lizzie r soo how did it go
If he doesn't answer, we know :(
Hope you get better soon
This is probably the first time ever where the comments are more useful than the video. I have an operation coming up & I was absolutely terrified of going under GA. All your stories have given me great comfort. Thank you all ❤️🙏🏾
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 🙏🏽
@@prestondaniels4494 you’ll be fine. You got this. 😎👊🏾
@@KhemistrySetI'm having surgery in few hours on GA.
Thank you. I feel much more at ease now. 😊
I had surgery yesterday, and don't remember much of it. There was a flash of white light in the operating room, and then I woke up in the PACU. It felt like I was resting my eyes. A very successful procedure. I wish I could thank the anesthetist!
I just had surgery yesterday and I had pretty much the same experience
my biggest fear is some idiot giving me wrong anesthesia and me not being able to move but feel everything they do to me. awful.
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
"Accidently got some on his tongue". Yeah, and I "accidentally" just smoked all my friends weed
lol same
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAOOO.. Not funny to be on the other end of that tho 😂 a while ago when I could still smoke (got caught can’t for the time being) I shared with my brother and he smoked my last joint I was saving 😭 it’s fine I guess.. ugh.
@@rulerzreachf4n200 thats tough just buy a preroll when you can smoke again. I have heart surgery in two weeks and I cant smoke for possibly another year smh...
@@spongeebobsquaretypants2270 why patrick!!
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.
You absolutely are NOT awake during a C-section in the civilised world. That would be barbaric LMFAOOO
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.
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 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.
I've had surgery a number of times, and after a few of them I remember saying, "So, when are we going to start?" And the nurse saying something to effect of "Oh, we're finished.....you're in the 'recovery room'. :)
I just had lymph node surgery today. I asked the same question.
Gray Moorhead not every time is the same, I’ve had 4 surgeries with varying degrees of dizziness and tiredness, one even had me having more energy than I came in with while the other made me sicker than any virus
Haha same thing happened to me
@@veebhushah9667 when you wake up do you feel any breathing tubes or anything?
@MC Shinobi 👍😁
I remember going into surgery I was so nervous while the doctors were all laughing and trying to make me feel better. 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.
Now I'm considering becoming a nurse anesthetist. The end.
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. He said alright you r gonna start feeling it in about a minute... He then asked so what school do you go to? All I got out was Da... and i was gone 😂😂😂 Woke up in a chair tracing dots and writing my name😂😂😂😂
@@ST4_R hopefully you didn't end up swimming in milk inside the blender between four happy strawberries. Don't tag me to "trying to be funny".
I needed my gallbladder taken out when I was fifteen. But when they took me into the theatre I took a panic attack. The anaesthetist gave me some midazolam and chatted to me about music for a few minutes until I was chilled out enough to allow him to anaesthetise me. What a great guy.
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.
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.
I remember crying my eyes out on the surgery table because I was so nervous for my brain surgery, then, a few seconds later, I’m in a different room, nurse hovering over me telling me “good morning, surgery is done”. Crazy experience 😂
Coming from someone who’s had many procedures done, it truly is amazing what it feels like
It feels like a few seconds and then they tell you it’s over
I remember doing double takes and being like “That’s it?”
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 🙄
Hats off to all those anesthesiologists that help keep us safe during surgeries. Keep up the good work .
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.
I've never had surgery and i hope i never will, it's my worst nightmare. This video was really helpful and was very educational :) People who do surgery are so amazing and they deserve the praise they get. It's amazing. My best friend has to get a valve replacement and she was horrified but it turned out okay, thanks to the anaesthesia.
Thanks guys for sharing your stories, they really helped, despite the fact that I nos know I will probably have to have this at one point, I feel way more relaxed 😌 You guys are amazing 👏
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.
@@user-lw7rp4eb3k I'm also rare, in the bad way. I had to get 6 of my teeth removed, 4 wisdom and 2 bottom 2nd molars
ngl the only surgery ive ever gotten was wisdom teeth removal and you wont even remember it
I can’t believe how invested I got in this thread. I just read it all just now and it was like a suspenseful movie. I’m so glad I found you we’re ok!!
I think anesthesiologists have one of the thankless jobs in the world. We always thank the surgeons for everything they do(and that is deserved) but theses guys are the reason surgeries are so much smoother than a few decades ago.
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
Gwydda Probably because he or she was hot :P
Anesthesia is basically you skipping the cutscenes
very clever
underrated

Amazing
Just had my third surgery, and I was lucky enough to thank my anesthesiologist today! Him and his assistant did amazing, along with the surgeon!

Message to those who are nervous for their surgery:
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. Hope this helps to anyone who's reading it, good luck!! Also, watching this video (but especially reading the comments) really helped calm my nerves. So thank you so much!!
Had surgery yesterday and I can only remember the doctor saying to take deep breaths until I felt sleepy and then I only remember waking up ready to go back to the recovery room. Truly an amazing discovery for humanity!
when i had surgery i was excited to be knocked out lol. being under anesthesia was so weird. you dont gradually fall asleep. just one second youre conscious the next youre not. you dont dream at all. its kind of like time stops moving for you, its kind of like...warped. and you know when youre starting to gradually wake up and your senses start to pick up things without you fully awake ? usually that whole process takes me a couple of minutes when sleeping, but when i underwent surgery that happened in the span of like, 3 seconds and i jerked awake. it was so cool !!!
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?
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE REAL ANAESTHESIA DOCTORS OUT THERE.
Y'ALL THE REAL MVP.
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!
I just had surgery this morning. Waited almost 4hrs, couldn't eat past 3 am the following morning!
Anethesia hit me like a brick, the tech was like "relax" within seconds I was in the PACU. I felt it in my hand where the IV was placed. I wasn't loopy but definitely felt it's close to nap time.
Surgery is one of those big fears of mine but I found comfort in videos like this. Humor and talking with the care team help me through all this. We BS'd about pizza toppings
I'm getting surgery April im a little nervous about the anesthesia are u sure u don't feel anything
Science is amazing. Had surgery in my abdominal area 2 weeks ago and I was a bit nervous about the anesthesia. I just remember the girl saying she will give me something to relax and most people don't like it and I will feel a bit funny. I then told her I felt a little dizzy and I woke up in my room recovering. Crazy how it felt like seconds! They put a patch behind my ear prior to the anesthesia so I wouldn't get nauseous. I never felt nauseous and I never threw up. Crazy but my whole experience was pretty light. I didn't even feel severe pain.
Now I know why anesthesiologists are important not only pre-surgery but also during surgery
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 need to be an anesthesiologist, my name would be Dr. Payne
LOL
Or a doctor that does amputations. Patients would freak out when you are introduced to them.
Omg 😂
Max Payne would be better
Get outta here dr payne
Even though it was a small comment at the end, thank you for describing surgery as “trauma.” Surgery is indeed traumatic - and that need not scare anyone, but it is accurate to name its seriousness and its potential to affect other parts of people’s lives.
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. It was as if the pain killed me. I forgot my name and that I was a human and time/space did not exist. Just guess what else ... consciousness does not require a physical body.
I had surgery exactly two weeks ago, I’ve been waiting for it for 6 years but also terrified leading up. The build-up is always the worst. In the end it all went really well and I am so thankful and blessed to have had the amazing care I received.
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!!
why would you dislike this, its just information
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!
Anesthesia is one of most amazing invention humanity ever discover.
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 had 3 surgeries and lots of endoscopies (yeah, I just gave up on counting lol), and honestly, anesthesia is the best part of the whole procedure. The anesthesiologist('s) is/are just so gentle, kind, and comforting. Then the feeling of slowly getting more sleepy, slow, and unconscious is just sooooo good. It ends all my stress. It makes me forget about the world. It makes me feel like I'm in a good place, where there isn't any problems that leads to stress. Truly one of the best feelings.
I had testicular torsion yesterday, and how anesthesia works is extremely interesting to me right now.
Sorry bro
Wondering how this happened lol
Always afraid of getting that
Been there, terrible pain, hope you're better now
**2000 years ago**
Patient: will i feel pain?
Nurse: no, im just going to give you a little bit of, uh, *c O ca i n e*

Yes exactly. Time more teleports, instead of in sleeping where time seems to move faster. You don't remember anything between before surgery and after surgery. It feels so weird.
The last thing I remember was being lifted onto the surgery table. I remember briefly waking up afterwards but when they removed the catheter I passed out. Then I woke up again in the recovery room. They had to wake me up because I rolled over onto my side in my sleep. I was so out of it that I forgot I had surgery
I have to go under for a surgery this Friday and I thank God & all people now and in the past that have helped pave the way in the medical field to make surgeries less painful, more successful, and less risky. Every doctor, dentist, surgeon, nurse, anesthesiologist ect you all are angels and have my upmost respect. Think of all the people back in the day who tested these substances and or did experiments on themselves to see how it would help make dentistry or surgeries less painful and traumatic is truly a selfless act and helped humanity in such a big way. We tend to take that for granted. Thank you for helping for the greater good! 🙏💖

My Nana has been a nurse for over 30 years & she says that when you are in surgery, your life is in the anesthesiologist’s hands.
😍😍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.
I recently had cardiac open heart bypass surgery that lasted 4 -5 hours. That procedure involved several artery/ vein removals and installation of these transplanted blood vessels. None of that would have been possible without adequate and effective anesthesia
A year back I had pilonidal sinus operation. I have prescribed spinal anesthesia that anathesialogist was so cool during the surgery he was enquiring about my studies etc.. and the surgery ended smooth. Thanks for his precise service
When I had surgery on my ears I remember the surgeon was just like "take deep breaths" and walked away and then when I had the mask on my face I thought I was supposed to feel the air flow but it felt like it wasn't on at all...soooo I panicked because I thought the anesthesia was ineffective and I started taking reallyyyyyyyy deep breaths and my mind was like "tell them it's not on!!!!" When I woke up I told the doctor and he was like "that's why you yelled "ITS NOT" 😂😂😂😂 I passed out mid sentence
Golden Girl Jay I laughed out loud at this
So funny.
Ohh my 😂😂😂
Hahahah
Some story, Huh?
My mom had hip replacement surgery and as soon as she awoke in the recovery room she looked at my stepdad and goes "So...when do you think they're gonna be ready for me?" Funny to explain she was already done with surgery.
I pray that’s how my hip replacement surgery works out. I’m really scared because I haven’t been successful with anesthesia with past surgeries. They said I’m really young to be getting hip replacement.
That sounds like a good surgery experience.
When I had all of my wisdom teeth pulled I woke up in the car telling them they haven't pulled my teeth yet and that I need to go back
That's how my first surgery was. When I woke up in recovery, I kept asking my Mom if they done it yet..lol.
@@wreckinball8527 just had mine a few weeks ago. Hope you're recovering well:)
i'm so glad this popped up on my recommended i have to have a surgery in three weeks i've been terrified of being put to sleep with anesthesia but this has made me a lot calmer about it along with the comments here i don't feel as anxious thank you
I remember going into surgeries I would always try to make it as far as I could before I went out. Never made it past 7. Lol!! Respect to all the anesthesiologists who make surgeries more bearable and easier.
Doctor: "We cut off his left arm, right?"
Nurse: "Right"
You: *Passes out*
If it's an amputation they'll actually write in marker on the limb to be removed.
@@kyojeipromo8884 sounds like me on a Sunday morning
@@CaptApril123 I broke my collarbone really badly and when the surgeon asked me what side it was I was confused and then they actually put a little x on my broken collarbone and he was like "hehe because we don't want to break the other side too right" and I was like 'yeah mhm GET ME OUT' and then they did surgery and I felt amazing afterwards
@@strangerfromadarkplace7846 excellent, happy it worked out well.
@@CaptApril123 yeah it was just amazing. It didn't hurt at all not even afterwards so a surgery is really nothing to be afraid of. It depends on the type of surgery of course but like broken bones are something that nobody should ever really fear
When I had my first (and only so far) surgery, I wasn't asked to count from 10, but the anesthesiologist said to me I had one job: visualize my nicest memories. It was such a nice thing of her to say I almost cried. When I feared the surgery so much, it just brought me great comfort that this nice lady will be there with me.
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!
Our health professionals are wonderful people, the care and attention makes difficult times easier.
I just had my first experience with anesthesia a couple weeks ago and was mind blown....it's like I BLINKED and the procedure was done. Amazing
I had surgery last week and the anaesthetist was so calming and kind. In the operating room he told me that I would start feeling nice and sleepy while administering through my cannula, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath then woke up and I had been in the recovery bed for an hour already! Had to ask the nurse if everything was all done to double check because it felt like 2 seconds!
When I broke my arm the nurse told me to count down from ten. I got to six. When I woke up I started talking to my mom in Spanish because I’m bilingual. The doctors panicked because when I fell asleep I spoke English and when I woke up I spoke Spanish 😂😂😂. We‘d forgotten to tell them that LOL!
Hahahahaha
lmao
Hahah they thought you were one of those special cases where after an accident or something they come back with a different accent lol
Hilarious 😂
Lmao
I wish everyone that has a surgery coming up or knows someone’s that does is at peace and not anxious about the process. I wish you the best.
Thanks I’m getting my wisdom teeth removed next week
Thank you, I have one this week and I’m really nervous about the anesthesia.
thanks man
Thank you 💗
Thx, had my cancer-tumor removed few days ago. A perfect operation
Anesthesiologists just for the record I appreciate your work for being so important for those who needed
Parents dont know I actually learn stuff on the internet
I went into surgery twice and I have to say that being anesthetized is one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had. I remember waking up laughing out loud, completely relaxed and in such a good mood that literally NOTHING could bother me. It was as if nothing mattered anymore. My body felt good also though I was still kinda paralyzed.
Huge anesthesia fan here.
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.
Its interesting how anethesia is basically just poisoning, specifically neurotoxicity, but done at an extremely controlled level to create just the right amount of non-perminant damage to your system.
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?
I so fun too watch this when you actually understand it completely, we learned a little about it yesterday
My then 1 year old baby had to get a minor surgery that required a full body anesthesia and saw it first hand how fast you get knocked out through inhalation anesthesia. Our baby was knocked out less than 3 seconds. That's something I will never forget in seeing but so grateful for the anesthesiologist for making sure the dosages were perfect for the surgery.
Anesthesia exist because someone Decided to have mercy upon us.
I was thinking it was to reduce the amount of people who died of shock during surgeries
@Scolar Visari. With someone you mean God, right?
@@deividi270 Yea, sure why not?
@@valiatus6719 sure. I think it so.
God
imagine you are under anesthesia about to pass out and hear the doctor say ''okay open wikiHow''
lol
💀😂
😳💀
*heart rate rises*
So, according to WikiHow, we need to cut open his scalp with a scalpel and something something I’m no doctor
1:35 I feel like there’s invisible air quotes and a winking eye
I’m really grateful we’ve got this help for someone that need to get into surgery, or dentist🎉
My biggest fear is waking up during a surgery because the anesthesia wore off early and being able to feel everything they are doing to me and not being able to speak out
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)
@@kathryn8782 Did you feel any pain?
I’ve heard a few horror stories of people waking up in the middle of the procedure. Though I’m sure it’s very, very rare.
@@RB01.10 not until I actually woke up and the procedure was over. They gave me more anesthesia before I open my eyelids.
4:06 Cosmo and Wanda you ain't slick.
Damn, good catch.
Eyes like a hawk! *Proceeds to give you Crocker's number*
Really? What about that disgrace chloe?
True
L
had surgery today. they put the anesthesia in my IV and it hurt my arm just a bit, and then i woke up in the recovery room. amazing.
I have a surgery in a week from now and I'm scared to die. I have an anxiety disorder and I am afraid of losing control (That's why it takes me hours to fall asleep every night). I'll update if I make it alive.
How did it go?
The operation went fine, I don't remember anything. I only remember the doctor telling me I will feel dizzy and might cough while injecting something, then they put a mask on my face and told me to breathe deeply, then I remember waking up while they take me to the recovery room. I thought the hard part was the surgery but apparently I have to recover for 3 weeks with something in my nostrils that won't let me breathe from my nose at all(It was a nose septum perforation surgery)
One time when I got anesthesia, I was able to make a lucid dream. Y'all know what I did? I just imagined being in a living room with elevator music.
Paradox/Guy lmao nice
You wasted a lucid dream.
that's so cool bro
I always get lucid dreams but during surgery’s I get normal ones, weirdddd
@@Manat_ you always get lucid dreams .. do u do anything to have them or is it just natural?
what a time to be alive
Indeed it is my friend technology is becoming limitless
Overall, it's technically the most peaceful time since our civilization began.
And it's also a time when Christianity is being attacked 24/7. Christians are being murdered, and in the East Israel is under constant attacks, terrorism has reached new heights, and our U.S. government is doing basically nothing about it. Sure technology is amazing, but the world is not becoming more peaceful; quite the opposite
+Sam Soine Quite the opposite, you only think that as a result of having easy access to news from all around the world. Not only that but also fear mongering headlines generate more views/ money.
So why don't the Christians change their religion to one which is acceptable to the people attacking them? One imaginary friend is as good as another. One fairy tale is as good as another.
Awesome. Had surgery twice in my life. Weird coming around in recovery. Interesting video.
I had it few days back and it was amazing experience.
When I had surgery, the person who stuck me with the needle told me to think about ice cream, and all throughout the operation I kept saying “chocolate.....vanilla...... cookie dough....”.
Okay, this is very hilarious.
I bet you were about to remove your wisdom teeth!
Lol
I got a very minor surgery when I was like 5, and the anesthesiologist was asking me what the anesthesia “mask” smelled like, and he was like “does it smell like watermelon? Candy?” And I just kept shaking my head “no, no, no”😂
I’m probably going to get another surgery soon though.. and this time maybe with and IV 😬
Could y’all check out my music and tell me what you think ✨🛸?? czcams.com/video/H5s3su7w2R8/video.html
One of my Mums friends went into surgery and he said “go easy on me doc, this is my first time”
To which he and the anaesthesiologist replied “don’t worry, it’s ours too”
hhahahaha , so not funny 😂
😂😂😂
omg nooo ahahahhhahaha!!!
Calm down mike, its just a small surgery
But my name isn't mike
I know, mine is
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so interesting I had a surgery not long ago and it was done with scope. It’s almost mind blowing how they put stents in something just 6mm in diameter with a scope. No cuts or stitches just tiny little micro cameras and tools. Amazing
The nurses and professionals at the VA Hospital who helped my husband get through his kneecap replacement surgery were wonderful. The anesthesia people - made sure he was 'out like a light', pain free...and monitored him all through.
Anesthesia won’t be needed when I get surgery, I will faint as soon as they tell me what they will do to me
😂😂😂
Same 😂😂😂😂
@@cubetheory3591 uP
Hahahaahah lol
But that risks the chance of feeling of getting kicked in the nuts but it is everywhere in your body
I wish they whispered "welcome to the matrix" before you were knocked out
Then right after they said that you are in a car.
Gaming fast travel be like
Underrated comment lmfao
lol
i think the glitch in matrix is working. I am legit watching matrix on other tab right know and saw your comment
I remember going into the surgery. Best nap of my life.
Ted talks have gotta be the most inspirational and interesting videos ever, a wealth of knowledge and information, this is what the Internet was really invented for.
I LOVE YOU SURGERY HAMSTER YOURE SO BRAVE I HOPE YOU RECOVER WELL
Well thats another view of it 🙄
I viewed it as animal testing... and animal cruelty... i did not like this at all but it was educational... still though.., why didnt they use a human?
Dis dud
Neko Chan because it’s for children and supposed to be educational. please take your opinion elsewhere if you don’t want to get butchered

I cringed so bad at this
I'm so grateful for our modern day medicine. I really don't think the pioneers of these medications get enough credit!

Enough credit for what? These medicines you speak of also kill people every day. I lost my large intestine because of a medication.
bill do what medicine
Accutane. There's thousands of people including myself with pending lawsuits against the people who made it.
Marcus Jarrell wait for a 100 more years and then Life saving would probably be easy
Im 23 and I've had 5 quite heavy surgeries in my life now, and can honestly say
That from the moment my eyes close and all the nice doctors surround my bed. To the moment i wake up... is both a millisecond and forever as its a blank hole in my brain and i closed my eyes and then hours later there i am smiling again at my nurse or my family
I just had my first surgery and I thought it was awesome! First try was on my spine unfortunately my anesthesiologist wasnt able to adminster the anesthesia on my back because I was big so she sedated me and it was instant. I think i got the "high" and was asleep in an instant andi didnt feel any pain. It was awesome and relieve me from having anxiety if i was awake.
I was under general anesthesia when I had a hernia repaired. I think that is what it is like to be deceased. No concept of time at all. One instant gave way to another. Absolute zero, nothing, in between. Crazy.
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. On the positive side, having had 6 weeks off (the last two were just me milking it), I got to do some vacationing and travel. 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
I can't remember they injected something to me. after that I just woke up in a room 🤣 It feels like a minute later after you entered in the operating room when in fact it's a couple of hours
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
yeah
I've had many surgeries, mostly as a kid (thankfully, not so much anymore) but only once or twice do I remember getting sick from it.
I had my scoliosis surgery it was very major, it was a 11 hour surgery.. i had to get a general anaesthesia... i was really so nervous while entering to OT and I asked the doctors wouldnt i feel the surgery at all? They said you wont even realize when it got over! And the same happened i was so confused .. I didnt even realize when everything was over! Thank you so much to science for discovering this! :))) be happy everything will be fine
I had surgery on my appendix a couple months ago, I was curious how this worked and now it makes sense
This feeling is basically that moment where you're sleeping on the car or sofa and all of the sudden your in your bed
Omg yesssss
Lol soo true
I hope you are referring to childhood memories lol
You’re *
There was a time where I woke up but still had my eyes closed, but I enjoyed getting carried. Memories..
Getting knocked out by anaesthesia is one of the most relaxing things ever. When you ‘wake up’ it feels like you had the best sleep ever, and now I know why because your nerves brain and everything were actually genuinely relaxed
Last time I was knocked out, that was exactly what I thought. Best, most relaxing sleep of my life.
You are lucky . I feel vile before and after waking up is just pure torture .
bruh I need anaesthesia I can barely sleep soundly and peacefully
Very interesting and educational video. l had so many over the years, but never knew how it worked. 👍👍
I just got ACL surgery some 2 weeks ago. Anesthesia was what I was scared about but it just felt like a refreshing hour-long nap :)
What a cute cartoon creature.

You're a cute cartoon creature. #roasted
Would you like some ice for that burn?
ololololololol
ololololololol
My doctor said “do you like milk?” And then put the anesthetic. thank the lord I didn’t die lmfao.
Milk of amnesia.
It's not that bad. When I was five years old I had an operation. Doctors just said: "Do you want ballon or butterfly???" and I answered very excitedly: "BALLOOOON!!!" then I woke up in another room with vascular access through my wrist. I never get the chance to see that ballon. :
