Hello, I will have surgery on May 22 to remove CI permanently due to headache and pressure pain that I have for many years. The general anaesthesia for CI surgery and reversal surgery should be similar unless patients want CI replacement.
I'm not sure if Ketamine or Propofol are blamed for agliation, hallucination and confused after wake up from surgery, but I did received Propofol without Ketamine before so just wake up fine without any problem, so I believe it could be Ketamine. I took combination of Propofol and Ketamine for major EGD last year and it was very awful.
I'm not sure if I did take pentothal before, but when I had CI surgery in 1996, I was given a gas mask to put sleep in. The result was bad as combination of Propofol and Ketamine, I threw up like crazy after wake up and feel very sick.
What kind of general anaesthesia that CI surgery usually used for adults?
I'm going ask my GI specialist to get full report about what medicines were used for me in OR when I had EGD and colonoscopy next week. If Ketamine is one of problem so I will going tell them to not put Ketamine in me.
Thank you for helping.
