I had something like this happen in one of the surgeries that I’ve had. I had consciousness and sensation but couldn’t move or open my eyes. Luckily it was before they had made an incision, and I began to feel very panicked. I could hear the operating team talking and feel them preparing the area by wiping down my skin. It was a very ‘locked inside’ feeling.
Then I heard one of them (the anesthesiologist I believe) mention that my heart rate was going up. They mentioned something about administering more of something, and I went out completely. So it was handled well by that medical team, and I just had a close call. Just know that you can use your emotional response to signal the need for more anesthetic.
i heard about this! lots of self-reported professionals in reddit threads seemed to be skeptical of the idea they wouldn't notice a huge heart rate increase due to the terrifying situation. except one person who dismissed the idea because they apparently always saw a heart rate increase when they started working on patients after applying anesthesia. either a reddit troll or a horrible doctor
Ya, it's definitely something that can happen if the folks aren't doing their jobs well, but if everyone is focused and taking their time it is seemingly very rare. You got this!
Thank you!!!!
