Assuming the team is prepared for surgery, running out of anesthesia wouldnt occur.
Assuming that stock has been ordered, running out of anesthesia wouldnt occur.
Assuming surgery is in progress and the anesthesia has been depleted, surgery would be aborted and the patient closed up as soon as possible, which then would require falsifying the OR report and patients chart to avoid a lawsuit.
In that case, what do they do if they run out of anesthesia is the same thing they do if they suddenly have Montezuma's revenge and that is: they change their scrubs.

Do you mean anesthetic? I guess they'd have to cancel the procedure. If anesthetic somehow ran out while a procedure was being performed, that would reflect gross malpractice, and I guess the procedure underway would have to be immediately halted and a panic to procure more anesthetic would ensue.

Why?Are you having surgery and you think they will run out! (If) and only if! - it would never happen - maybe on a "battle field", under heavy fire.Lighten-up - this is the 21st Century, stop watching TV - bottom line - IF they ever run out of anaesthetic - well I guess you'll just have to tough it out....
