How long can I sleep after general anesthesia surgery?

You should be able to stay awake 2-6 hours after the operation, and you can fall asleep only after you are fully awake. After the operation, the general anesthetic will be completely stopped. In addition to the normal drug metabolism and excretion of the ventilator, some anesthetics will continue to accumulate in the muscle and fat tissues of the human body. The longer the operation time, the more anesthetics are used and accumulated in the body. After the operation is completed, when the patient wakes up, the anesthetics accumulated in the body will continue to be released into the circulating blood. At this time, the patient may experience amnesia and tongue drop, resulting in insufficient oxygen to key organs and complications.

Therefore, the patient can fall asleep only after he is completely awake.

Diet combination:

1. After general anesthesia surgery, you should pay more attention to a reasonable diet arrangement and eat more seasonal vegetables and fruits. However, it is best not to eat food for about eight hours after the operation to avoid nausea, retching or indigestion. You should drink more warm water and adjust your nutrition.

2. You cannot eat food immediately after general anesthesia. You should wait until the body has fully recovered before you can enhance the body's immunity through diet. Drinking plenty of water on a daily basis can effectively prevent physical discomfort. After general anesthesia, you can eat less for about seven or eight hours.

3. If there are some problems with the body, even if the condition can be effectively alleviated by using nettle treatment, you cannot eat immediately after the operation. If there are obvious symptoms of physical discomfort, you can stay in bed. Only after the body recovers can you eat some foods that are easily digestible.
