Hi everyone,
Has anyone been given Fentanyl before surgery before? I went for a hysteroscopy today and prior to my general anaesthetic, I was given Fentanyl to help me relax but I actually fell unconscious. The anaesthetist was still talking to me telling me how the Fentanyl will relax me a little before we go in the surgery room - and I was completely out. I don't remember anything that happened after. I was supposed to be unconscious for about 30 minutes with the general anaesthetic but I was out for over two hours.
Has this happened to anyone? Is that a usual reaction? I haven't had a chance to speak to my doctor yet.
