A member asked:
How long before general anesthesia is out of your system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends : On what was used, how long it was used for and how well the patients body metabolizes and clears the medication. For most modern anesthetics, the majority of the medication will clear within a few hours. Some people can have prolonged residual effects.
