For the patient the operation is over in the blink of an eye !! True ! I have had 2 triple by pass ops and the anaesthetist said I will just give you a little injection and you will go to sleep fairly quickly ! I felt the slight prick of the needle and then i opened my eyes ! The operation was over and it was the end of the day , I looked down at myself and saw the red line down my chest and had various tubes etc sprouting from various parts of my body . No pain though as pain management is excellent these days.. To answer your question --If you are waiting for some one to come out of theatre --several hours !! for the patient I would estimate less than 1 second !!!
