Dissociative Anesthesia
Alternate Names : Dissociated Anesthesia
What happens right after the procedure?
A person who has had dissociative anesthesia usually does not remember the
procedure, especially if a sedative has been given along with the pain
medication. Most people feel back to normal within a few hours. As the
medication wears off, an individual may have intense dreams and even hallucinations. If the procedure corrects
the problem and a hospital stay is not needed, the person can go home. Someone
else must drive the person home, because the medications can impair
coordination and reflexes for several hours.
