AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nausea and vomiting – This very common side effect can occur within the first few hours or days after surgery and can be triggered by a number of factors, such as the medication, motion, and the type of surgery.

Detailed explanation-2: -When blood flow is interrupted, like when too much anesthesia is administered, the cells can be starved of oxygen. Oxygen deprivation can quickly result in a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or death. Traumatic brain injuries can also occur if a patient aspirates.

Detailed explanation-3: -General anesthesia causes you to become unconscious. This type of anesthesia, while very safe, is the type most likely to cause side effects and to carry risks. Most side effects are minor and temporary, such as nausea, vomiting, chills, confusion for a few days, and a sore throat caused by a breathing tube.

Detailed explanation-4: -Patient awareness under general anesthesia (or anesthetic awareness) is a rare experience that occurs when surgical patients can recall their surroundings or an event – sometimes even pressure or pain –related to their surgery while they were under general anesthesia.
