After surgery under general anesthesia, do patients have to stay awake and not be able to sleep? Why

There are many reasons why you can't sleep after anesthesia, because the anesthetic can paralyze the nerves and cause the patient to lose consciousness. In addition, patients will be in a state of sedation and sleep after anesthesia, which can easily cause respiratory diseases, respiratory aspiration and so on. Finally, if you fall asleep after anesthesia, there is an abnormality during the operation, and you cannot talk to the patient in time.

Some patients can choose general anesthesia for surgical adjustment, it is best not to sleep after general anesthesia, and the doctor will also cause patients to not be able to sleep after anesthesia, many patients are very worried about this situation, want to have a comprehensive understanding, do a good job of preparation before surgery, let's see why can't sleep after anesthesia?

1.Loss of consciousness.

Many people are very puzzled about why they can't sleep when they are injected with anesthetic, mainly because the anesthetic will paralyze the nerves and cause the patient to lose consciousness, so if the anesthetic is injected during sleep, it will be life-threatening, and it may also make the patient bite his tongue, resulting in tongue damage, so it is necessary to stay awake to inject anesthetic.

2.into respiratory diseases.

Some people appear in a certain aspect, the disease needs to be carried out by surgery, but in the process of surgery, many people will choose to use general anesthesia for conditioning, the effect is relatively good, but in the process of general anesthesia, it is not possible to let the patient fall asleep, not in the process of surgery to wake up, if the patient will be in a state of calm sleep after general anesthesia, it is easy to cause respiratory diseases, It can also cause serious complications that are not easy to detect.

3.Aspiration of the respiratory tract.

After anesthesia, it is easy to cause serious physical discomfort, and if you continue to be in a calm sleep state after general anesthesia, it is easy to cause respiratory aspiration, so it may be difficult to find changes in the condition during sleep, and even cause serious complications, which will have a great impact on the patient's physical health, so the patient should be woken up after general anesthesia.

4.Patients cannot be talked to if there is an abnormality.

If the condition is not well conditioned after general anesthesia, it is not easy to observe the changes in the condition, so after general anesthesia, reasonable adjustments should be made according to the patient's state after medication to avoid a certain aspect of the disease, and the patient can be talked to all the time during the general anesthesia operation to prevent the phenomenon of falling asleep.

After general anesthesia, the patient must be awakened, not to let the patient fall asleep, to avoid local wound infection, or nervous system damage, if the general anesthesia falls asleep directly, there is a certain aspect of the disease, not easy to find, may also lead to serious consequences.

The reason why the patient cannot sleep after general anesthesia surgery is that after general anesthesia, the patient's cardiopulmonary function is at rest and has no voluntary function, so after waking up, the patient should be allowed to breathe on his own, so as to improve the cardiopulmonary function and prevent delayed respiratory depression. In addition, it is not easy for doctors to grasp the changes in the patient's condition during sleep, so it is generally not recommended that the patient sleep after general anesthesia surgery.

It is really not, if you sleep you may not wake up, after all, this surgery will numb your nervous system. Loss of immune system function.

1. In order to prevent delayed respiratory depression, medical staff will keep the patient awake for a certain period of time, because respiratory depression mostly occurs when the patient is asleep.

2. If the patient continues to be asleep, it is easy to cause aspiration of the respiratory tract, and in addition, it is not easy to find the changes in the patient's condition during sleep, and it can even cause serious complications.

3. Because the patient's protective reflex recovery requires a process, in the recovery process, there will be muscle relaxation, tongue suffix blocking the respiratory tract, causing suffocation and even death, therefore, after the end of anesthesia, the patient's consciousness should be kept awake and the changes in vital signs should be closely observed.

In fact, there are no strict regulations requiring that you must not sleep after waking up from general anesthesia, but the general anesthesia drug is not one, but a combination of drugs, and the half-life of each drug is not the same, after waking up, there are some drugs that are not completely metabolized and discharged, and are still working, some of which have the effect of respiratory depression, which in some cases will cause breathing to become shallow and slow down or even stop, most of them are in the state of anesthesia awakening, but still drowsiness, if such a situation occurs, it is necessary to keep the patient awakeIn the awake state, general respiratory depression can be avoided, and oxygen and close monitoring are required.

However, respiratory depression is not common in all patients after surgery, and most of the respiratory depression can be avoided if the liver and kidney function are normal, the anesthesia time is short, or the anesthetic medication is appropriate. If the muscle strength and breathing recovery after surgery are relatively good, and there is no significant respiratory depression during sleep, then the patient can sleep completely and help the postoperative recovery. Of course, the premise is also oxygen inhalation and strict monitoring of vital signs.

After anesthesia surgery, you are prone to problems when you are resting, so you can't sleep.

After the anesthetic procedure, the person needs to regain consciousness, otherwise the anesthesia will cause neurological damage.

Why can't I sleep for two hours after surgery? You can't believe it.

Before the general anesthesia is awake, the patient is in the stage of loss of consciousness, in order to prevent the occurrence of various complications or accidents, there must be a special person to supervise until awake. Keep your airways open. Before general anesthesia is awake, the muscles of the mandibular joint are relaxed, and the base of the tongue is easy to fall back and block the throat passage, so a ventilation tube is generally placed in the throat, and respiratory secretions can be sucked out through the catheter to ensure the patency of the respiratory tract.

The catheter can be removed when the patient is awake and the ventilatory tube is pushed out with his tongue. Nausea and vomiting. Gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting often occur after ether general anesthesia, so patients should lie flat with their heads to one side before they are awake from anesthesia to prevent saliva and vomit from being aspirated into the respiratory tract.

Once aspiration occurs, the head should be lowered so that the glottic cleft is higher than the entrance to the esophagus, and vomit flows into the nasopharyngeal cavity and then from the corner of the mouth.

Generally speaking, patients can be awake within 10 minutes after general anesthesia surgery, and if it is a short operation, the time will be shorter and the quality of awakening will be higher.

Anesthesiologists generally do not seek to keep patients fully awake as soon as possible after surgery, which can cause pain and discomfort.

Anesthesia is to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, that is, to make the patient not feel pain, general anesthesia is to make the operation process as comfortable as sleeping, if you feel pain, then the anesthesia is a failed anesthesia, it is a medical accident. You have to file a claim against the relevant hospital and anesthesiologist to protect your own interests!

Hello! First of all, if you have this condition, it is a medical malpractice, and the professional term is called intraoperative knowledge. It means that you are conscious, feel, and hear during the operation.

Cause 1: The anesthesiologist is not responsible; 2: It is the individual differences in the situation of different groups of people that respond differently to drugs.

3: Problems with anesthesia machines, etc.).

In foreign countries, this situation generally occurs through legal means to obtain the corresponding high compensation.

At present, the probability of intraoperative knowledge of accidents in major hospitals in China is about 17%, and there are relatively few domestic patients who are held accountable due to their lack of understanding of this medical accident.

Dear compatriots in China: In the future, when encountering such medical accidents, we should take more legal means and obtain corresponding compensation to make up for our psychological, physical, and spiritual trauma.

This is not usually the case.

It can occur in only a very small number of patients, known as intraoperative knowing, and is considered one of the complications of general anesthesia.
