We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with. Nora McInerny hosts The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, a new podcast ...

Fear of the unknown is one of the most significant sources of anxiety for surgical patients. What exactly happens when we're "put under"? Could we wake up during surgery? What side effects should we expect? Our latest episode tackles these common concerns by exploring the APSF's Patient Guide to Anesthesia and Surgery.
We walk through a simulated pre-surgical consultation, addressing the questions that weigh heaviest on patients' minds. We also explore factors affecting wake-up time, from medication choices to individual metabolism, and why some patients experience delayed emergence.
The episode provides a comprehensive overview of potential side effects, from common temporary issues like dry mouth and nausea to rare serious complications. We discuss allergic reactions to anesthetics, distinguishing between true allergies, pseudo-allergic responses, and typical side effects. Throughout the conversation, we emphasize how patients can reduce their risks through open communication with their healthcare team, following pre-surgery instructions, and disclosing their complete medical history.
Knowledge is power, especially when facing surgery. By understanding what happens during anesthesia and how medical professionals ensure safety throughout the process, patients can approach their procedures with greater confidence and participate more actively in their care. Share this episode with anyone preparing for surgery who deserves clear, factual information about what to expect during their anesthetic journey.
