How long does it take a person to regain his consciousness after being treated with total anesthesia?

It depends on what they use and how much. I've seen people come awake 10-15 minutes after an operation. I've also seen them keep a friend under for 8 days. This was so he wouldn't move and start internal bleeding again. You need to talk with the doctor about this.

I didn't know I'd had surgery until afterwards (I was unconscious when I got to the hospital) and the doctors kept me out for a few days to let my body recover. \n\nI can remember a lot of bits of things but not really a whole story. The first thing that sticks in my mind was how bright the room looked when I woke up (I think I'd had my eyes closed for a little under a week so that might explain it) and that my throat hurt a lot as I'd had a tube down there. \n\nThe doctor said something to me but I'm still not really sure what. I knew he was speaking but the words didn't make any sense. In any case, I was so exhausted I just really wanted to get more comfortable and go back to sleep... But, there were two things that stopped me... First, it hurt more than you could ever possibly imagine to move. Second, my body felt strange and weak as though my muscles had disappeared (a week of laying without moving does that to you). \n\nI vaguely remember the doctor telling me to keep still because of the tubes and such and I just lay there completely terrified of even wiggling my fingers until I fell back asleep. \n\nThings went pretty much the same way when I woke up a few hours later!

well you have to make it to scuba training first.  you wont drown, your closely monitored and i believe your body naturally gives you about 4 mins. before you start to swallow water after blacking out. just don't panic that what kills most people in water.  oh yeah, its called shallow water blackout. you have to experience it so you know when its happening to you.

Perhaps you could ask your dentist/dental surgeon (or with whomever you're consulting) if a drug called Versed (usually administered by IV) would be appropriate in your case.  It allows the patient to remain conscious, but creates a temporary amnesia, thereby eliminating any memory of the procedure.

Hi well the recovery period is normally between 2-12wks,but some times some off the symptoms may continue up to 2 years,but if there is no improvement at all in 3-6mths is very unlikely you will recover.Good Luck

It takes about 6-8 weeks for blood restoration but exact duration can vary due to persons age,health status and diet.

For an otherwise healthy non obese adult, recovery time from a complete rupture often takes 6 months assuming the patient is motivated and compliant with the rehab program

Your question is a very difficult one to answer because there are a lot of variables.  Age, area of brain injured, severity of injury are just a few of the variables that would impact recovery.  Some individuals never fully recover while others have a miraculous recovery.  There is no clear cut answer to your question.

My husband had a liver transplant November 2000. Came home after 1 week,however,took approximately six months to completely recover.

Well, technically they can but usually only for about 6-8 minutes after death.  See, we define people as being dead when their heart stops beating, but for a few minutes if we can get their heart started again they'll be fine.  After about 8 minutes brain damage starts to occur, and I think somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes it becomes hopeless.  Those times will be a bit longer if the person is really cold though.

the answer is 6-10 minutes if u are healthy, the question was how long u can LIVE not stay conscious. therefore the body organs and cells can last from 6-10 minutes.furthermore 4-6 minutes without minutes without breathing the cells begin to deteriorate, then 6-10 minutes without breathing the cells begin to die. u can only be resucitated after 10 minutes ONLY if your core temperature is well below normal hypothermic.

Simple answer YES.\nI came off a horse and was knocked unconscious for 3 days.\n2 weeks after leaving hospital I had a really bad accident and suffered liver damage plus all the skin on my face peeled off.\n4 weeks after that I was in a car accident and broke my leg, collar bone, broke my nose and again was unconscious for 4 days.\nDoes my story qualify?

You are usually up and walking around before you are released from the hospital.  I believe for a full recovery today it is about 4 to 6 weeks.  Now days surgeries are different than years ago.  Smaller incisions are made today and like gall Bladder surgery they cut a small hole and suck it out.
