My family has a history of malignant hyperthermia, so I was recently put under without inhaled anesthetics and they put an EEG on me. It was wild, zero delerium, nausea, or grogginess. I just snapped back into full consciousness.
Propofol is great isn’t it! I worked with some old guys who did some of the original studies demonstrating safety of propofol anaesthesia in MH. The world is much better for people with MH than it was 30 years ago, as long as they have a way to inform their doctors of the condition.
Was put under for minor surgery using propofol some 20 years ago. Doc started injecting the milky white goo into my IV, without so mucy as a hello, there was a clock in the room which seemed to slow down, I couldn't breathe or move or cry out and was sure I was dying.
Then I woke up in a recovery room, with zero awareness of anything that happened in between.
