Do patients talk under anesthesia ? It worries me that doctor can investigate into my personal life while iam asleep
21 مارس 2013

د. Jean Esso التخدير
It is extremely rare for patients to talk under anesthesia. Some patients talk a little while losing consciousness. One anesthesia medication was popularly known as the ‘truth drug’ and was used in low doses to extract information. People would talk after being given small quantities of this medication in the same way that some people talk after having a few drinks of alcohol. However, the dose required to induce anesthesia is much greater and the time interval between receiving the medication and becoming deeply unconscious is rarely more than a few seconds. Patients do not talk during anesthesia while they are unconscious, but it is not uncommon for them to do so during awakening from anesthesia. The first thing most people ask is ‘When are you going to start?’ it is rare for people to say things that are embarrassing or revealing on awakening. It is far more likely that they will just ask the same question over and over again, because they forget the answer, or even that they already asked the question.
