How long does it take for general anesthetic to leave the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Length of anesthetic: Modern general anesthetics are short acting and leave your body fast, almost by the time you are ready to leave the post operative unit. Sedation may continue mainly from the pain killers given after surgery. Lethargy for a few days is from having a surgery rather than the anesthetics.
