I am curious if anyone has had general anesthesia and tried to fight it and if so did you have something to relax you before you went into the Operating Room?

Yes. Surgery makes me very nervous. You can ask for something for anxiety.

I was the world's worst phobic about general anesthesia and had never had it until a month ago. I told them my fears and they gave me something to relax me a bit. Then when they wheeled me into the surgery room, they must have cranked it up, because I don't remember anything after entering the room. Out like a light. I didn't even have to count backward. Next thing I know, they are saying, "Wake up!" It wasn't hard at all. I felt a bit out of breath and took several deep breaths when I woke up. That's about it.

properly, you could combat it for extra or less 2 seconds. After which you're long previous. a typical pre-surgical treatment sedative is Versed. it works, have faith me, i've got had 5 surgical procedures those days. previous to surgical treatment you've gotten an danger to talk to the anesthesiologist, and you'd be able to handle any concerns or questions or requests at that element. additionally till now surgical treatment a nurse will insert an intravenous line. it incredibly is the place the surgical treatment drugs would be injected. so which you get caught, yet in simple terms as quickly as. it in lots of situations feels chilly interior the working room, so don't be afraid to ask for heat blankets. human beings interior the working room would be wearing mask and getting issues waiting for the surgical treatment. those human beings do those products for a living, and you'd be fantastic. ultimate needs.

In normal life, it does not happen...why? because they take you to the preanesthetic room, you have been previously evaluated by a proper anesthesiologist, and given sedation (premedication) in such a manner, that you will not only unable to fight, but you will be in a kind of extatic state, brought upon by "premedication"....no one that is unduly restless is taken to the operating room, but is returned to the ward for re-valoration (wrong dose, low dose, or no medication by mistake)....
Most used premedications (depending on the size of the surgery) are IV diazepam, hyoscine, fentanyl, droperidol, haloperidol (all the choice that the anesthetis has, is based on the individual history of the patient..)...
So no jumping and shouting before the cut down,,,,,not possible.....

I have once. The anesthesia is so fast and effective these days that you really can't "fight" it. Just try to relax and pretend you're going to sleep.

I've anesthetized tens of thousands of people, and some of them have tried to "fight it". No one has ever succeeded.
I have promised kids that if I can't get them to sleep, they don't have to get their tonsils out. I haven't lost yet!
If you get midazolam (Versed) before you are anesthetized, you'll be awake until the other drugs are pushed, but you might not remember much after getting the Versed. (It's an amnestic.) Totally amazing drug. I give it to almost everyone.
Fight all you want. You cannot win.
