Patient dumped in the PACU

[Monty Python]

Are you sure about that?

So the auditory n. works but does that mean that the pt will recall what they hear?

If you open their eyes, do they see? Will they remember what they are seeing?

I imagine these nerves are working/firing but its the consciousness that we are blocking. How come we can tell a pt to do something in the recovery room but them don't remember it later?

Good questions ... I can only state what the PhD physiologist told me. And I was trying to extrapolate a possible connection between auditory nerve and recall, but failed to precisely state that in my previous post.

This falls under the same category of "how does general anesthesia work?" on the molecular level and at what micro-anatomical / biochemical location?

My original intention was to prevent the Young Jedi OP from unknowingly setting him/herself up for being named in an Awareness Under Anesthesia lawsuit, no matter how true or bogus.
