I had a melanoma WLE surgery and 2 lymph’s removed. They couldn’t do anesthesia because I have sleep apnea so they gave me fentanyl knowing I have extreme chemical sensitivities to many chemicals others can handle all the time. After surgery, they moved me/my table to a wall and a lady shook me to get me to breathe then only sat down telling me to breathe every once in a while. She was too lazy to stay standing up to move me despite me taking only one breath and I wouldn’t breathe again! I remember the dozen moments she’d say to breathe in a really bitchy tone and then nothingness again. Finally she told me to sit up which helped but I was slumped over, then finally she said to breathe deep-that finally put a thought into my head (the only one) that I needed oxygen to live and snap out of this so I started doing Wim Hoff rapid, deep breathing to save my own life. It was HORRIBLE. I knew not to complain to the hospital as I might need them again later with all my many serious health problems. Doesn’t that sound horrible? It seriously makes me feel less than dirt being ignored having respiratory failure over and over an sober and over and nurses saw me not breathing walking by and they saw me just dead basically after taking out my vent. I also probably found out I had an allergic reaction to some drug one phlebotomist accidentally told me while looking at my records. Then after my WLE split open and was infected, it pushed out 2 foreign objects; a black square plastic looking thing and blue/ turquoise yarn like girls used in the 50-70’s like in the Brady Bunch. I don’t even own turquoise clothes. So much medical abuse and it’s haunted me since. Why would they even do all that? Why not tell me I had a reaction? Do they seriously think I don’t remember basically dying a dozen times like a junkie? Who can I maybe later make a formal complaint to? I’m just scared with having Medicaid I’d be forced to go there again for surgery later for some reason.

During surgery, everyone that is working in the room and usually talking, but are acutely aware of what is happening at all times, once that monitor’s beeps change even in the slightest, all staff is aware and concerned. The Circulating Nurse may even make that “emergency” phone call before the anesthesiologist asks them to as the O.R. Works as “team” and knows to “anticipate needs” and are always prepared.

Interesting to say the least. I’ve always wondered how dire situations would be handled. The fact that you can call for assistance and fellow anesthesiologists come running is outstanding. You all do keep us alive during surgery! Our fate is in yours and those in the OR’s hands. Thank you!

I’m an Anesthesia Technologist. I had taken my daughter to our dentist to have her 4 “wisdoms” removed. Near the end of her surgery, a car struck and knocked out the electrical power box outside of the small medical building. All of the lights and equipment shut off. The dentist immediately inform me that everything was ok, the surgery part had ended and my daughter was waking up. I noticed that my daughter was hooked up to a “transport monitor” showing a black screen. I asked the dentist why wasn’t the monitor on. He answered that all the electricity was out, as if I hadn’t noticed. I told him that the monitor should be on because it should have a battery back-up. He replied, “These have batteries?!!” Apparently the staff never knew what that “long rectangular thing” was and had kept it in a drawer instead of the monitor.

@@alanibarra6983 "goodbye, and you don't need to remind me about the bill, I'm not going to pay you. But see the bright side, you will avoid a lawsuit. Maybe."

Years ago, when I worked at a hospital as an electronics technician intern, during a surgery, they were using a blood circulation machine, and the fuse went. One of the technicians had to suit and scrub up, and sit on a stool, pushing the reset every few seconds, during the whole surgery. When the operation was over, the machine went into our lab where it was cleaned and repaired. The operation was successful and the patient was none the wiser.

Great videos! As a tech nerd I wanted to give a minor correction. You referenced “blown fuse” a few times. It is very possible equipment would have fuses in them, but not the hospital power supply that feeds electrical receptacles. Those are protected by “circuit breakers”. Google the difference. While a minor technically, to an electrical geek like me it is not trivial. If you said “there is a blown fuse and I need it fixed stat before the patient crashes”, I would start looking on the back of equipment for the little fuse holders. The exception being a huge machine that pulls massive power might have a fuseable disconnect on the wall (looks like a bull switch). It seems from this experience basic electrical calculations would be helpful for doctors plugging in equipment. Each device should have a nameplate on it with the power demands. Look for “amps”. If amps is missing then look for “VA” (volt amps) or watts. Divide VA or watts by the voltage of the outlet (not the voltage marked on the machine as most accept multiple voltages) to calculate amps. Example 1200va would be 10 amps in the USA. 120 volts is for a standard outlet in USA. Add up the amps of all the devices you are plugging in and multiply by 125% as this allows for the necessary adjustments for “continuous load”. Example 5 amp machine + 5 amp machine = 10 amps. 10x 125% = 12.5 amps. A “normal electrical receptacle” circuit in a hospital in the USA would be rated for 20 amps, so the 12.5 amps calculated is acceptable. So all devices plugged in to receptacles on one branch circuit X 125% should not exceed 20 amps. Lastly you gotta make sure you are not fooled by more than one electrical receptacle (outlet) being wired to the same breaker. Every hospital I’ve been in has great labels on the Cover plate of the electrical receptacles. The number indicates the breaker. So learn the OR to see if each receptacle is on a dedicated breaker or if there is a pattern. The labeled circuit breaker numbers on outlets will be your friend when a breaker blows. Unplug all non mission critical devices and find an outlet with a different number and plug in the most mission critical device first, and add devices monitoring if any one added device blows the breaker as it could be a failed equipment device that is pulling more power than the nameplate. Perhaps bringing in the hospital electrician for a one day “crash course” would be wise for medical professionals to learn basic electrical troubleshooting and load calculations to avoid the incident on this video which was completely avoidable with basic electrical knowledge. Also, you used the term “short circuit” incorrectly. A short circuit means the electricity passed thru the wires before it reached its load, often because of a failed connection or cut wire. If you tell a hospital electrician “we have a short circuit” instead of turning the power back on, he will refuse as he could be blown up at the electrical panel due to an arc flash when flipping power on to a shorted out circuit. He would demand to fix the short first. Instead you simply “lost power due to overloading a circuit “. That would tell the electrician that some load needs to be moved to a different circuit and power restored. Thanks for your videos, learned a lot!!! :-)

bravo! excellent job dealing with an unexpected malfunction

Insightful video. I am head of Biomedical engineering at a hospital with 18 theatres. We had a similar problem, but the ventilator monitor on your GE blew. We had no idea what the vent was doing. Luckily we were closing. So the anaesthatist switched from mechanical ventilation to bagging, bagged the patient and we turned the gas all the way down until the MAC reading on the patient monitor went down to zero. In South africa we don't have resident and attending. The all self employed and work individually. So the first line is to call a biomedical engineer into theatre and assess and assist the doctor. Luckily I was able to swop out the machine for the rest of the day and replace the screen that afternoon. We are no changing all our GEs for Dragers.

After a while they called in an Anesthesiologist to find a vein: he found one in less than two minutes, and made it look like "a walk in the park". I was really impressed, and since then have had a great appreciation for those individuals.

Huge respect for anesthesiologists. But if that happens in our hospital, the surgeon would have gone balistic if anesthesia said to stop the otherwise stable surgery because the monitors stopped working..

Surgery is a team effort that should involve everyone working together to solve problems that come up. Sometimes a surgery needs to be put on pause for patient safety, and the surgeon most of all should understand that!

Fantastic job explaining! Really simplified a super confusing topic.

So informative and engaging. I am loving all your videos. Subscribed.

I have worked for 20+ years in a very large ER here in the USA and it is nice to see a doctor who cares to educate non-physicians. Most care so little for "non docs" that after my 20+ years only two know my name.

Although I'm a paramedic, if I ever decided to go through anesthesia school, I would want you as my mentor... Always stay on your 'toes'! Great video!

Really enjoying this channel. So interesting.

I've had outpatient surgery in early 2011 where I had to be put under general anesthesia at a hospital. I wouldn't want to be in a situation where, if I required surgery and was under anesthesia and the power went out in the OR, I would've been scared shitless. It's no wonder I have a major case of nosecomephobia. 2011 wouldn't be the last time I underwent anesthesia, however...

Yes the hospital can definitely be a daunting place. I hope you're doing well health-wise!

But if you were under anesthesia. You would be lucky to not remember or even know the power went out. Atleast hopefully lol. But I can totally get your worries and fears as I think deep down a lot of us have them also. Hopefully you remain well and can avoid the OR love! ☺️

Max Feinstein, MD Have you done a question and answer video yet? As a parent of a child with a disability that requires general anaesthetics from time to time I would find that really helpful 🙂

I went into the hospital and had amazingly low blood pressure which they had to use lots of pressers. I think I recall while I was quite loopy that they hooked me up to a piece of equipment that had real time blood pressure readings. They also were using a special ultrasound to demonstrate getting a perfect IV done by monitoring the vein and needle. I seem to recall one specific person being called and demonstrating the equipment on me to other doctors and nurses.

thanks so much for this!! loved the insight
