Tag: Waking up from anesthesia

Modern anesthesia has made surgery significantly safer, with an incredibly low death rate of about 1 in 250,000 patients. Understanding **how are patients woken up after surgery** and what to expect during recovery can ease pre-procedure anxiety and help you feel more prepared.

According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, only one or two patients in every 1,000 who undergo general anesthesia experience accidental awareness. For most people, the question, 'Do you remember waking up from anesthesia?' is met with a blank—and perfectly normal—mental void, a testament to the powerful amnestic effects of modern anesthetic drugs.
