In some situations, you might be able to raise or lower your limb, or even speak, to show the anesthetic is not working before the surgeon picks up their scalpel. But if you have also been given neuromuscular blockers, that won’t be possible. The unfortunate result is that a small proportion of people may lie awake for part or all of their surgery without any ability to signal their distress.在某些情况下,在外科醫生拿起手術刀之前,你可能會抬高或降低你的肢體,甚至說話,以顯示麻醉劑不起作用。但如果你也服用了神經肌肉阻滯劑,那就不可能了。不幸的結果是,一小部分人可能在手術的一部分或全部時間裏都處於清醒狀態,而沒有任何能力發出他們的痛苦訊號。
