When I was given Anesthesia I felt like a drinking water with full force is moving from my hand to my head. I felt so so sleepy within 30 seconds. It was a feeling like when you are so tired and close eyes and immediately sleep.

I got all 4 wisdom teeth out today. I was put to sleep and I remember tasting the anesthesia in my mouth like a sour taste. Then everything was spinning so blurry... after that I woke up in the recovery room. Didn’t feel anything, didn’t hear anything nothing. Its crazy and it feels like time didn’t pass. Once you know it you’re just waking up it’s pretty fascinating in a way.

I am going to be having surgery in april and I have never gone under the knife nor have had anesthesia before. So this makes me feel a little less nervous about it.

I'm starting school this year, and this video was really cool and informative.

I'm 37 and having a partial hysterectomy in March because my ablation last year was unfortunately a fail. My health is a huge challenge and I am ready to get this and my recovery behind me.

i think e main reason that team work fails in many health care institution is the ego of the health care professionals and the lack of respect to each and everyone's capacity. At the end of the day, what matters is that we make a huge difference in people's lives. I hope everyone working in this field realizes that we are here to help each other and place our patients in the centre rather than ourselves.

Thanks To information Take care ..u to must And Get well soon as soon...

Lol I remember when they put the mask over me. I said "is this going to put me to sleep." Then I remember waking up lmao

My first operation (tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy combined), I had the cannula etc. For my second and third operations (toenail and teeth), I had the mask. Also had topical anaesthetic (mole on my ear that I wanted to have removed). They were all years ago, but now I'm Anaemic, so any future surgery for me would have to have that taken into consideration.

I have had 5 Surgery's and I have had Anesthesia in the hospital it was a scary experience for me

I had plates & screws put in my ankle yesterday, & the damn nurses tricked me! lol they knew I had bad anxiety so when they put the mask on me I said what is that? And they said don’t worry it’s just oxygen, & told me to take deep breaths, not long after my head felt heavy & pressurized & I felt dizzy, then I was out of it, I felt panicky at first when my head felt heavy but I didint panic for long cause just a few seconds later I was out of it, I never felt or seen or heard anything during the procedure, then I woke up in the recovery room, it’s so strange when your asleep, it feels like the surgery was only 1 minute, I woke up a tad confused & nauseous, but other then that I was good, so please don’t worry your self out like I did if you are about to get general anaesthesia, it’s a piece of cake & you’ll be fine, just relax & try not to stress ❤️❤️❤️ & let the doctors know if you are really scared or panicky, they might give you a Ativan (anxiety pill) to help calm you down. 😄❤️

0:27 Is that Derek Shepherd?!😂

When I had a scope the anesthesia made everything really muffled and blurry until eventually I could not feel anything and my mom told me lay down and when she said that a passed out

I had general anesthesia for my orthopaedic surgery

for my recovery it takes about 10 - 15 mins befor we can leave

The best available technology to prevent both over medication, the norm, or under medication, the extremely rare experience, is a BRIAN MONITOR. Know that you want to have one if going under anesthesia for major surgery. Major surgery, not a 5 minute cataract or 20 minute colonoscopy.

I remember mine it makes me shiver

I had shoulder surgery 2 years ago and going under wasn't that bad. One minute I was awake being rolled into the operating room then I quickly fell asleep.

When more than 1hundred people need to be anesthetized one day,what do you think and have enough time to care about the anesthesia methods?

That reception desk totally looks like the reception desk at children's hospital on Anshutz medical campus

When I got out of anestesia I jump like 4 times too high I wonder why

Meant when I’m older I want to be an anesthesiologist

I am scared shirtless sorry for the language. I have primary hyperparathyroidism which isn't controlled and a hiatial hernia which is causing lpr and breathing problems. I need surgery on 19th Jan for an incisional hernia.Will I wake up okay and recover as I am scared I won't a reply would be most appreciated. Thankyou

Yes you are ^^ and boy was this scary. Everyones needs will be different so I really can't rely on what I saw.

I’m going to take a nose sinus operation tomorrow. I’m getting scared!

I am always afraid of waking up before surgery is done. Also afraid of waking up in pain.

pls dr let me know under general anestacia is it painful anything before, after or during e.g. the tube for airways? pls let me know i'm due for surgery!!!! many tnx!!!

yeah, lol. her voice sounds like a robot

I am scared as hell from this!!!

Why consent to less qualified "anesthesia care providers" suchas CRNA, AA and other "helpers"? Most insurances par for anesthesiologist-only care (not one anesthesiologist managing 4 crna/nurses)..if you want to be safe insist on ansthesiologist=only care.. you have to insist and write on the consent" "I'm consenting to anesthesiologist-only care and I refuse CRNA services" I have had many surgeries and this works..all docs insist on anesthesiologist-only care..consent to crna to risk your life

Whoever created the video has a sense of humour

Hospital McGowne

Wow, that person has a lot of alcohol 1pack cigarettes and 6 beers a day

Dont forget the brain monitor!

You sure as hell are talking very highly of yourself for a person studying to become a CRNA. Your not even one yet and are talking about yourself like your better than a doctor. If they don't give me a doctor to do the anaesthesia for my surgery next week then I'm not going where it's scheduled just because this ladies delusions of grandeur about being a nurse who thinks they're better schooled than a doctor. All nurses are like that though

I want to be put to sleep!

I want to say that to everyone it is easy I do my surgery when they give me anesthesia it was super

8:27 why is the doctor wearing that spooky cap?

Great video for the layman to understand the role of an anesthetic provider. Although, I wanted to clear something up that came across a little confusing. CRNAs don't "assist" an anesthesiologist in delivering his anesthesia. We are independent practitioners who are trained, educated and licensed to do everything an anesthesiologist does and in fact, can practice autonomously in CRNA only anesthesia practices if we choose. As a student in a Doctorate CRNA program, I'm happy to educate anyone who is confused about this. CRNAs are the main anesthesia providers in 70% of hospitals in rural America. Google it to easily find multiple research confirmations of that. Let's continue to work together, the AANA and the ASA to better serve our patients today and into the future. So take that bar of soap and wash that word "assist" out of your vocabulary and replace it with colleague/partner and we'll all get along much better. It's not the 1940's, women can have careers now, African Americans can ride on any bus they want and CRNAs are educated, trained, excellent independent practitioners.

My anesthesiologist didn't tell me when he was giving me drugs to start making me relax; he said, "I'm just checking your IV to see what they're giving you", but when he walked away I started getting really sleepy. Is this common practice? Why wouldn't he just come out and tell me he was giving me drugs?

It looks like they gave the patents to much laguhing gas not be being rued

When I’m older I w as my to be an Anesthesiologist

am i the very first comment??

Anesthesiologist = very long time to get trained, very expensive, too few to meet the demand CRNA= shorter time, cheaper, able to satisfy the demand, BUT they are still qualified to do the same job. Of course Anesthesiologist have more experience, who can doubt that, that's why they get a hefty pay and manage and head the anesthesia staff in many settings. But they can't solve the high demand through out the country. That's why we need a lot of CRNA's who are able to extend themselves as far as the rural areas, who can't afford to get an anesthesiologist otherwise. So where is the contention coming from? Anesthesiologist don't need to look down on CRNA's, as if they are not qualified enough to do the job, if they weren't they wouldn't have been authorized to do it. And CRNA's, you don't have to argue with an anesthesiologist to make yourself feel good. An anesthesiologist's opinion about you won't change the fact that you are administering anesthesia on your own, and let this fact sink in to the many doubting you in your profession. If someone is belittling someone who works in the same capacity as he is, it's because he feels threatened, and if someone always has to defend himself for something that's factual, then he must be feeling insecure. This is a humble opinion from someone who is planning to pursue anesthesia. cheers,

Nighty night.

Woops

this video is accurate from the anesthesiologists perspective, but not from fact of what role CRNAs play.

Alright so I got surgery cause my hand was supposed to be fractured but then the specialist rang up and said you need surgery so I came up and they told me that my bone in my little finger was facing at a 90 degree angle so yeah Now I have a wire in my bone 😆. Oh and also the nurse said within his decades of working he had never seen that injury and it’s really rare sooo yeah :)

It's hilarious to me that we would compare a CRNA to a trained Anesthesiologist. I really don't care how many states were reckless enough to allow nurses to practice any kind of medicine alone - you can't compare 8 years of school + 4 years residency to being a nurse with an additional 2 years of school with a little experience. I would never in my life resort to being cared for solely by a nurse, ever. There is a reason why doctors aren't nurses and nurses aren't doctors. This is just further proof that America's health system is in the shitter.

Over 75% of anesthetics are performed by safe competent Nurse Anesthetist. Sadly this was not mentioned by this Boston originated video. Lear your facts Doctors!

nurse anesthetists can perform independently of anesthesiologists... they are not "assistants" to the anesthesiologists

also, ALL of the doctors/surgeons I work with speak VERY highly of CRNAs and would not hesitate to work with a CRNA lead anesthesia only. This is a bias comment and from someone who is uneducated in this field. I work for very well known hospitals (nationwide reputations for leading patient care). Pediatrics & adult level 1 trauma experience.

how was it scary? lol

Blame it on the anaesthesia.

Wow, all rainbows, puppy dogs and unicorns! How about long term cognitive effects, especially for those of us over 60 years old? Why does general anesthesia have to be used as often as it is? I severely cut my left arm nearly 20 years ago and adamantly refused general anesthesia at the famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for the surgeries required to repair the damage. Only Versed was used, thus no tube jammed down my throat and no paralytic drugs. It is just "amazing" that everything went well without general anesthesia!

NOT accurate. Im in a doctorate program to be a CRNA, its incredibly extensive in training and education. it takes over 7 years of education to become a CRNA. CRNAs are competent, & CRNA programs are more competitive than medical school because of how few there are and how few they accept. Insurance does not care about which provider performs anesthesia - because both are competent. AAs are not allowed to bill insurance or perform independently. CRNAs can practice independently -very safe

@ 4:26 that girl sure has hairy arms! lol
