Awake during open heart surgery 😨
Awake during open heart surgery 😨
Anesthesia awareness is a real thing. About one in a thousand surgical patients stays conscious through the operation. They feel everything but can’t move to tell the doctors what’s happening 😨

the part that genuinely scares me is the can't move thing. you're fully aware of what's happening to you, you can hear and feel everything, but your body just won't respond when you try to signal that you're awake. one in a thousand sounds rare until you think about how many surgeries happen every single day 😨 what's the most unsettling medical fact y'all have ever heard?
It's painless and all the symptoms are purely phycological
Happened to me 1 time for a while from propofol. I went under for idk how long then randomly was conscious and could hear and feel pain but couldnt move or talk. Thank god i wasnt having something very painful being done.
Hayden is gold
Happened to me getting my impacted wisdom teeth drilled into pieces for removal. Super traumatized.
What is this movie called?
Happened to me at the dentist
Yeah ever since I leaned this was thing I have been terrified of surgery. I since have 3 and so far I’ve been lucky.
This happened to me during an operation to have my appendix removed. Was conscious but paralyzed. I could hear and feel everything right up into the third incision to open my lower abdomen. I passed out from the pain.
This happened to me. Almost 15 years ago. It was terrifying and painful and just like being killed without actually dying. Prolonged torture and you can’t alert anyone so you are just filled with dread at every step and trying so hard to move/talk etc. Horrible horrible experience I can’t even express it with words.
1 in 1,000 is way too high
That haooend to me ì got anesthesia and was tripping and was in pain but was saying random stuff
As someone who experienced this as a child when I went into surgery, I screamed as soon as the anesthesia wore off.
Then I got told off for "lying" and "seeking attention" by my mother afterwards
This happen to me during my leg surgery after my gunshot I thought I was screaming In her face but found out I hadn’t moved an inch
Being awake while your ribcage is being sawed open. And you feel it, but can't react.
Right and wrong most people won’t feel pain but hear things so it’s more likely that it won’t be too bad
Can you sue ?
I experienced it once as a kid.
I had a few teeth removed and was aware of everything. It didnt hurt but I remember the whole thing
I had my wisdom teeth removed. I felt everything but I was seeing a completely different reality. There were millions of people being crushed into cubes (each cube was made of thousands of squirming bodies). Large men pushed the cubes into furnaces. They were sobbing and trying to look away, but everywhere they looked they only saw more of their brothers pushing the people into the flames. 6/10 experience tbh
The anesthesia is mostly to keep you still and in a stable condition so they can safely work on you without you flailing around in pain. Not remembering is a bonus
This and death are my 2 biggest fears
Wouldn't his heart rate go up
That sounds like a lot.
My mother was having surgery and could hear the Dr's conversation. They didn't believe her until she repeated the conversation.
Ok …. new fear unlocked
oh cool now i SUPER dont wanna have surgery
I would rather just die honestly
What movie is this?
Happened to my grandma
But can’t they see your vitals sky rocket?
I woke up during my gallbladder surgery, and the doctor finally looked over at me and said, "Whoops". Same thing happened while I was having my tubes tied. They say you can't move but I tightened my body, and it got the surgeon's attention.
Thankfully its more rare now with better anesthesia and monitoring
I have this. Not fun.
What’s Anakin doing…?
Good to see anakin left the order and became a doctor
I was conscious during my first endoscopy.
My mom told me once that she felt everything during surgery when she was really young. She wanted to tell the doctors but she wasn't able to speak or open her mouth. In the end, she wiggled her arm (i don't even know how) and hit the doctor to alert him that she was awake. Know she's ok 👍
Just for anyone that feels very paranoid from this, that 1 in a thousand is true… BUT this includes ANY awareness. This includes remembering for even just a second, a sound, maybe slight pressure. The chance of actually feeling EVERYTHING and remembering EVERYTHING and not being able to move are really really really small, and even in those scenarios your brain activity, breathing, and heart rate are all being monitored and will not just be ignored. So even in the EXTREMELY low chance that this happens, it’ll be caught very very fast, most likely before they even cut into you. Hope that helps 😀
I was aware through my surgery can hear them talk and pulling on me no pain though no pain. Don’t know for sure if could moved because had chosen not to move with the believed they I might slice me on accident if even just moved one muscle lol😂 I was like 13 or 14 had a deviated septum
iS there an explanation of why all the dr*gs tht suposed to make u stay asleep and make u don't feel the pain don't work and the only one tht works iS the one tht makes u stay paralized?
😢😢😢😢
“Anikan, Anikan, nooooo”
I had this having a cyst removed from my neck could hear and feel everything but was unable to move..
I could have lived my life not knowing that 😭
BS. Heartrate tells you a lot.
