What is the most effective way to signal to the anesthesiologist or surgeon that you are awake and aware during surgery?
Is there anything that patients can do to prevent this situation from ever happening?
Patients can talk to their anesthesiologist before the surgery to discuss their concerns and any previous negative experiences they may have had with anesthesia. This can help establish a plan for how to handle such situations, and the anesthesiologist may use a lighter anesthesia to allow the patient to remain more alert.
