My friend will have surgery with anesthesia tomorrow. How long will it take for the anesthesia to leave her body?
Hello,
All depends upon some factors: patient's condition and length of procedure. Could take hours. Some drugs take 24-48 hours.
It depends on the type of anesthesia used. Generally, hours, but some patients may continue to feel the effects for a day or two depending on the type of surgery.
