Had 3 hour surgery. what are some post anesthesia problems?

Occasionally...: Mild nausea, some residual sedation and/or disorientation, and minimal discomfort are the issues that surface most often postoperatively. That said, experienced anesthesia care providers anticipate these problems and do their best to prevent them before patients return to full wakefulness. Rest assured, though, these issues are easy to handle during recovery!

Anesthesia problems: Side effects depend on the type of anesthesia, the length and type of surgery, the age and gender of the patient, and other medical conditions that patients have at the time of surgery. With general anesthesia, people sometimes have nausea, sore throat, hoarse voice and muscle aches. Spinal blocks have a low risk of headache. Nerve blocks have a rare risk of nerve injury or infection.

Pain and Nausea: The main postoperative problems that patients experience are pain and nausea. Both of these are easily treatable by an alert pacu staff.
