Is the Experience of General Anesthesia Similar to Death in a Hospital?

When I saw this problem, it made me think of a lot of death and surgery (the relationship between working in the hospital) in my life. Combined with my own experience of surgery, my feeling is that the two processes are similar, but the results are different – similar quiet track. With the pulse of time, the two may be parallel lines, confluence lines, or cross lines: going in different directions, One is goodbye, the other is never to see again.
In peacetime, sudden death is far away from most people. We put more energy into our work and life in order to “live better”. Of course, “death” is just a matter of time
People are high-level animals, will consider the death of this high-level thing.
Contemporary writer Yu Hua said: “death is not the loss of life, but out of time.”
Now I still remember clearly that when I was a child, I suddenly made a clear understanding of myself, planned my life, even the design of death. Because of the death of their loved ones in their sleep, I cry – a good one is never seen again, cherish the time that we have now ~! So, I decided to treat it with beautiful eyes and kind heart! It’s a treasure even if it’s never seen again. Suddenly there is a kind of power in my heart. The boundary of my heart and mind is like the expansion of the universe, and the boundary is far away and fuzzy – this is a growth when I was 17 years old.
When you grow up, the “death” will occasionally appear. From watching my grandfather leave peacefully before work, to ushering in (rescue success) in the silence after work, I have a 17-year-old heart in my heart and go all out in my work
With the busy work and the enrichment of life, the problem of death has been gradually diluted, not because there is no time to think about it, but because I feel that if my life is fixed, I don’t need to tangle too much, the practice process and broadening the width are also interesting, and there are many things to experience in the future
So what is the feeling of death?
Think back to my patients sharing their experience of death, you may find it incredible!
The feeling of frequent death, such as rising to heaven after death, out of body, strong light and stars, reminds me of the end of the story of “the little girl who bought matches”. The little girl was in grandma’s kind and warm arms, with a smile on her face, and it was not painful to leave. To borrow the scientific explanation: “at the time of death, the human brain will secrete the substance of opium in the brain, which can relieve pain and make you feel happy at the same time.” Therefore, there is a saying of “return to light” in medicine.
Death is a never-ending hike. The feeling of death is unknown and mysterious.
From a scientific point of view, as long as the human body enters the deep anesthesia, you will not feel cut to pieces. General anesthesia refers to the state of reversible loss of consciousness and loss of pain caused by inhalation or intravenous injection of narcotic drugs from respiratory tract. Different from death, after general anesthesia, the human heart is still beating, and breathing needs the auxiliary ventilation of anesthesia machine to maintain the stability of vital signs.
After general anesthesia, the doctor begins to do the operation. During this period, due to the traction of the operation, wound bleeding and the metabolism of narcotic drugs, the heart rate and blood pressure will fluctuate in a certain range. Generally, the fluctuation can be adjusted by the human body itself, but in some cases, the human body can not adjust by itself, so the anesthesiologist needs to use drugs to maintain the stability of heart rate and blood pressure, To ensure the safety of the operation.
When the operation is completed, anesthetics are almost metabolized, people will slowly wake up, and then recover consciousness and consciousness. Just like when you drink and get drunk, when the metabolism of alcohol is over, people will wake up. But when you wake up, you won’t remember what happened during the operation. You can only remember that before anesthesia, the anesthesiologist talked to you, and then you don’t know. Then you remember that when you wake up, there was a catheter in your throat, and then you said some nonsense, vaguely remember.
