[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waking up during the operation is one of the rarest risks of anesthesia. There are plenty of other things you should be more worried about, like intubation damaging your throat or dying from the anesthesia.[b] A recent large study found that complications from general anesthesia kill about 1 in 3,000 people. [/b]Recent data I have seen says that only around 1 in 20,000 people experience conscious awareness during surgery. For what it's worth, I underwent general anesthesia twice in a period of two weeks and had absolutely no side effects. It's like being dead, or before you were born. It's not like sleeping where you have dreams and perceive the passage of time. You just don't exist during general anesthesia[/quote] You need to cite this study - this information is wrong and alarmist.[/quote]
