A member asked:

If a patience is agitated and restless while coming out of anesthesia after surgery. is it safe to sedate and keep sedated for days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Out of anesthesia. : It's not unusual for someone to react this way coming out of anesthesia, but it should only last a couple of minutes. Sedating someone for days would not be appropriate.
