I hope that was what was planned.
The anesthesia is free, we just charge for the wake up.
Yes, I could push the IV drugs. My management of the inhaled anesthetics would be a quick trip to the morgue.
and yet the IV ones are far more likely to cause a death than the inhaled ones
When the patient asks if he will wake up i always ask if they paid for a round trip.The anesthesia is free, we just charge for the wake up.

I usually just look down and mutter “I hope so . . .”
How do you know that you weren't dreaming but forgot?

I don't think there is REM under general anesthesia.
then why do my patients dream under GA? i ask that question a lot to my patients, what they dream about. some of them can tell me, others just say it was a good dream but i dont remember. a few says no dream
I don't think there is REM under general anesthesia.

I don't think I'd totally discount the possibility of dreaming under anesthesia unless the patient was 18 degrees C and had an isoelectric EEG.
The brain's a funny thing. Maybe there's no dreaming during the middle hours of a case with a MAC of volatile, but I easily believe there could be during the last 10 minutes as you're lightening the patient up for emergence. If the patient has a fleeting three-minute dream of a beach at the end of a 3 hour surgery, and remembers it upon awakening, that wouldn't really be surprising to me.

And also a 3 min dream could be 3 days to the patient. I've sure we've all had that when we took our 5 minute naps.

Now we’re getting into Inception territory.
uh oh...is this a pic or gif
I have my own idea about dreams. I think they represent choices and options we did not take. Akin to quantum theory which states that the universe splits whenever a decision is made. I have heard of people putting headphones on patients loaded with hypnotic suggestions to reduce pain and ponv. Essentially in the brain their are infinite connections hardwired into a space the size of a small basketball. I can see a dream state that externally looks like a second being perceived longer during emergence.

I once did a VR experience that felt like it lasted an hour but it was only 8-10 min.

Excuse me while I smoke a joint and think about that.
