This happened to my aunt. It happens more than they admit.
thats terrible
That’s terrifying
OMG, is she okay now?
Don't they monitor the intake of the anesthesia? Don't they monitor the patient's heart beat? You would think that something would give them a clue.
I agree, you'd think the patients heart would be racing.
Anesthesiologist not paying attention me thinks!
This is a common mistake that CRNAs make
@@moosehead1183it wasn’t an anesthesiologist, it was a CRNA, aka a nurse
It's the paralytic drug they're giving now in surgeries - that's what makes you unable to speak, move or open your eyes to let them know you're awake and need more anesthesia! It needs to be banned.
It just painful reading this 🤕😖
A man woman?
🤦♀️
LOLL
Probably a trans woman?
Probably not wanting to risk misgendering her due to Canadas draconian and outright tyrannical laws about pronouns. 😐
I knew someone who had one of their kidneys removed...you can survive on one. She drifted in and out of consciousness, couldn't feel anything but could hear what the surgeons where saying...so she knew what they were doing to her but couldn't feel or move...
Imagine being awake but can't move or speak then bammm the doctors cutting you and digging thier hands into your body 😩
Thats why im so scared to undergo surgery if ever i needed one in the future.
Wow, that's crazy!
I woke up during surgery. Felt everything for a min and started pulling tubes out of my mouth. They knocked me back out. I woke up with a busted lip.
Are u Aussie? I worked in op theatre and this happened once. The busted lip too.
Why did you have a busted lip?? What does this mean??
Bust lip might have been caused ... hurrying or rough when putting tubes back in.?
What did you feel? Did it feel very painfull?
You're lucky you weren't given a paralytic drug. You wouldn't have been able to indicate you were awake and they wouldn't have known you needed more anesthesia. This is happening A LOT lately yet they refuse to stop giving these paralyzing drugs (too lucrative to ban)
That happened to me when I was 6 years old I had endoscopy and I have the biggest phobia from surgeries though I’ve done one recently
Anasthetic awareness once again
Happened to me in 2009 age 10 ... foot surgery was awake for the whole thing
🙂😂🤣🤨 whay what
Surgery to the foot are not done under general anaesthesia but sedation,so im glad you were awake🤣😂
wardiya zinonni why are you mocking a person for saying something completely reasonable whilst your statement is ridiculous and to be rude just like you are ...makes you look pretty stupid !!! Unles you live in a mud hut in the middle of the savanna almost all hospitals use general anaesthetic! Are you talking about a specific surgery?.. I
There are HUNDREDS of different surgeries performed on feet! From taking out a splinter ..awake of course ...or removing gout from a joint usually done under local anaesthetic...there are cases for example a dislocated toe/ankle where just sedation is used. Then there is AMPUTATION like to think you would be under general anaesthetic !
@@chloetaylor9187 Quiet 🤫
If that happened to me, I would've definitely sued the NHS; I'm from the UK.
Man is short MANitoba. A Mnitoba woman.
is that what it is! I was so confused by that title!
Ok but still lol. It seems intentionally misleading.
Watching this when I have surgery
That would mutherfukin hurt
It is a blessing that it’s exceedingly rare. One is still too many though.
I, as well as many of my family members and friends have had procedures done and this never happened.
Tell the doctor you want to be snowed. I dated an anesthesiologist and we talked about this subject.
What is being snowed?
what is that
Why didn’t you marry him? Anesthesiologists make a lot of money.
not everything is about money @@BionicPig95
No they're not exceedingly rate. This happened to me. Dr's lie about this.
Disclosure record? Lol. Hilarious.
Exactly WHICH Dr's are accountable in Canada? Pleeeassee...
Because it happened to you it isn't rare?
I’m scared to get surgery now.
Just had it and not even close to being awake. The doc said take a breath and nextxthing you know I'm in recovery
You should be.
💔
True nightmare fuel 💀💀
Worse than sleep paralysis 😢
Dentist's need to be sued too because they can't anesthetize and this is tortures
OMG
Why do they use a paralytic...maybe they shouldn't.
That's probably why they use a powerful sedative as well ..so that if you DO wake up you won't remember..the anesthesiologist really scrooged up this time!
That's it, you have hit the very key here -- it's the paralytic drugs that cause this nightmare of waking up but unable to move or talk or even open your eyes to indicate you need more anesthesia. There's no need for them but they refuse to ban them because they're very lucrative.
It’s exactly like that suspense thriller Movie awake from (2007) with Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba 😬😬😬😬😬
👌💕💕
Never never trust.
Huh......If the patient’s anesthesia is “too light” undoubtedly she was able to hear. However stating she could not open her eyes indicates she was in a paralyzed state. Therefore you would not be able to feel pain. The woman stated she could feel the pain of the cutting. Not sure about that...
I too had a medical procedure whereas at one point I could hear what was happening. I remember seeing through my eyelids knowing there was a bright light in my eyes. I too could not open them or speak. In my experience it lasted a few seconds, I did not feel anything. Did not feel one bit of pain.
Everyone’s experience is different.
You're not the prototype for anesthesia awareness, though - everyone is going to experience it differently.
I've felt pain just from daydreaming.
Someone, get them the matrix trilogy.
@@stormcherry6064 i’ve worked in an OR for 18 years. General anesthesia is just that, it’s general for all…
However conscious sedation is different. You’re actually awake to the procedure, you can follow instructions, we instruct patient to scoot over after the surgery onto a stretcher. Patients remember from waking up in the recovery room after surgery when they were actually awake the whole time…
She said she had felt the knife cutting, not that she felt pain.
Being in a paralize state doesn't mean you cannot feel pain. Your mind might be paralized but not your body... are you an expert on the question???!
they shoild also be monitring brain activity and this would not occure
Of course it would still occur -- there's a case in court right now where all his vitals were showing he was wide awake but the paralytic drug made him unable to move or speak. They just ignored it.
😯😯
this is a very rare thing to happen
😲
Torture
She probably dreamed this.
You're stupid for thinking that. This is very real
Complaining about it is not going to holddr accountable
