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.
