General anesthesia is short for general anesthesia. There is no evidence that general anesthesia affects memory, but for patients with hepatic insufficiency, renal insufficiency, pulmonary insufficiency, etc., there may be poor recovery of consciousness at the end of the surgery. General anesthesia is a process in which anesthetics are applied to the central nervous system of the human brain by intravenous or inhalation, causing it to be inhibited and allowing the patient to go from conscious to unconscious to meet the demands of surgery. After the anesthetics are stopped, the patient’s consciousness will slowly return due to the metabolic discharge of the drugs, which means that general anesthesia is a reversible process. The metabolic discharge of anesthetics generally needs to go through the metabolic transformation of the liver and then be discharged through the kidneys, or directly through the lungs, therefore, for patients with poor liver function, kidney function, and lung function, the longer the retention time of the drug in the organism. Some patients are still in a state of poor consciousness after the anesthesia stops, even after they are sent back to the ward, and when they encounter such a situation, it is necessary to closely monitor the patient’s respiratory oxygenation and take corresponding measures. General anesthesia is the process of the action of anesthesia drugs, with the metabolism of the drugs, its effect on the body will slowly disappear, and the effect on memory has not yet been reported.
