and on a ventiolater how long does it take for the anesthesia to wear off?

It really depends on the type of anesthesia used and the amount of anesthesia given during the surgeries.

Ok.. now that's a different question.
It isn't really anesthesia
It is really the ability of the patient to be taken off the vent.
That is dependent on the patient
If they can be weaned from the vent, then it takes as long as it takes their bodies to wean. Usually 12 hours or so from the start of weaning.
There isn't anesthesia anymore, unless they are keeping the person down to keep them on the vent.

Depends on the person (their liver function, their prior mental status, etc.), on the anesthesia used, on the length of anesthesia.... really on a ton of factors.

It took me more than a day to become fully alert. The important thing to remember is that even though the person doesn't seem to be awake, often times they can hear everything you say. This happened to me. I couldn't open my eyes or talk and I got very scared. So if this person is close to you, you might explain to them what is going on. That really helps.
