What could have caused me to wake up from anesthesia during surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Short answer depends on type of anes. If ur having a regional block and sedation u are not under general anesthesia and some people become more aware as the sedation is decreased, thinking u woke up during anes but were just undergoing sedation. If u were under general anesthesia people usually become aware because ur anes is tapered down because ur blood pressure is low and they are treating it.
