General and regional anesthesia: What to expect

- While under general anesthesia, you may receive a combination of anesthesia drugs, some given through your IV and some that you breathe. You will not be aware or feel pain while under general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia blocks pain to a specific part of your body.
After your procedure, you will be taken to the recovery area, where a nurse will monitor you as you continue to emerge from anesthesia. Do not make any important decisions for at least 24 hours after any type of anesthesia.

I have gone trough 43 of this, my tips to yo going trough this for the first time. Relax, breath deep and relax. The more you inhale oxygen into your body before you go under, the better you feel after. The more you don´t fight going to sleep, the better you feel after. Best regard from a Sweden, I have gone through hell and back + Brain Arianism , and I am still alive,and I wish you the same. I had an enyarisma in my brain. Live long an prosper.
Thank you for this!
thank you, I hope you find cure for your ilnesses.
God bless🙏🏽
Thank you for this! Also I have a question… what do you mean don’t fight going to sleep? Thank you
Good bless you and thank you
I had to have surgery for a shattered wrist. Seriously, when they tell you to count down and you breathe once, three hours magically go by and you’re in the recovery room. It’s an experience you can’t really describe.
If anyone is scared of general anesthesia, yesterday was my first time ever being put under. It has been one of my biggest fears and yesterday I over came it! Be honest with your doctors, and relax. Believe me I was having a panic attack. It is honestly one of the easiest things I've ever experienced. I just remember talking to the doctors and next thing you know, I was asleep, the next minute I am awake again healing talking to the doctors again!!! Don't be afraid. You will be okay. It doesn't hurt or anything, and you will be fine. You won't even remember :))
Thank you for sharing your story, Natalie. Best wishes to you.
I’m losing hearing from mine
Did u ever vomit? Pls answer!!
I just don't wanna wake-up during my surgery!!😢😣
I’m terrified of general anesthesia and still need my wisdom teeth in my sinus cavity pulled
Sounds rough. Hope you will get through it with no problem or allready got through it.
I wish I could help. The reality is; nobody will ever help you conquer your fear. That's a road best traveled alone.
Amber Dennis it’s not really that scary, once you have it done! Hopefully watching videos will help. I also work in the field, if you ever want to chat. Good luck!
@@tamasmihaly1 Yes that is so so true.
@@candywilson3884 I'm so scared of going under.
Ok so I just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed a week ago, I was under general anesthesia and as this video stated, my throat did feel a little sore, I don't know if they put the breathing tube thing but I don't think so, I had an oxygen mask. And also, i did feel shivers and felt kinda cold, I even asked for a second blanket hehe. But other than that I feel fine.
Bethel _ did you feel goofy after
Bethel _ i’m getting 8 teeth removed during one procedure i’m scared did it hurt after?
Bethel _ what do you remember from going under anesthesia?
Marissa whitelaw there may be a little discomfort afterwards, but it’s not too bad. When is/was your surgery? If you haven’t had it yet, good luck! If you did have it, how did it go?
I’m getting surgery on my knuckle that snapped tomorrow and a week after that I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled
Considering how my big surgery coming up is gonna be on my chest, I’m certainly not looking forward to throwing up lol
Getting this the 16th of July, gotta pulled out 8 teeth. Please pray for me im terrified
How was it, what do you remember?
I am having a second reconstructive surgery on my leg in 2 years, my 18th surgery in total and it never gets any easier...it is very scary giving your life over to someone else and hope they didn't sleep through med school lol but in all seriousness, I am very nervous and scared for my surgery and being put under in 2 days. I hope I survive to give an update: )
Hi , are you okay now ?
We're thinking of you.
Yep, I’ve thrown up after being under. But not immediately. It’s not fun.
Elizabeth Schiada for what surgery??
how long did you throw up for?
Do they strap you down for regional anesthesia.?
pls dr let me know under general anestacia is it painful anything before, after or during e.g. the tube for airways? pls let me know i'm due for surgery!!!! many tnx!!!
We're sorry to hear this, and we encourage you to talk to your care team about your concerns. Best wishes to you.

I had general anesthesia last week and had no problem. I fell asleep in 4 seconds and woke up in the recovery very tired, not drugged or nausea. No pain from the tube but I could see a small scratch back of my throat
