| 4 | Sedation for colonoscopy | Emotional lability for three days following procedure (crying, unusual anger, depression), dry throat and cough for one day, extreme fatigue. | I went out quickly, was a little groggy in recovery for about 10 minutes and then all effects of the sedation passed. Now that I'm aware of how diprivan affects me, I wouldn't heistate to use it again despite the emotional side effects. | F | 47 | 1 days 1X day | 7/20/2015 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Disassociation for about 3 days post procedure, it's happened before, I informed everyone involved, I was promised a small dose of fentanyl with versed, had not consented to gem. Anestesia only twilight which I've had before with zero issues, my patient rights and civil rights were violated as well, it's criminal , I was screaming "no" don't give that to me she smiled creepily and pushed it anyway I was out almost mediately woke up disassociated again missing more work,awful!' | F | 51 | 1 days ??? | 7/2/2015 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Extreme burning and pain in hand and radiating up arm. It got worse and worse and was becoming excruciating. 3-days later my hand and arm still hurt. Woke up with headache. Prickly and itching all over body. Intense pin prick feelings. What is it doing to the rest of your body if it hurt so bad in the arm? | Why is this damaging poison being administered to us and why are we being told it is so great!??? It is not! Is it because it is cheaper than other options? Highly urge avoiding it at all costs! | M | 55 | 1 days 1X day | 6/25/2015 | 1 | carpal tunnel surgery | Woke up on table in extreme pain then propofol was injected and the real pain began and up my arm burning like acid. This left me with ulcers up my arms and shoulders that are still covering my left arm for 3 years now. | The doctor's both told me they give us enough dope when that happens and very few remember it. The blood blisters up my arm the next day would of scared me into thinking they operated on the wrong arm and messed it up bad. | F | 60 | 1 days ? | 6/16/2015 | 1 | I had a Tennis elbow Op. | It felt like Acid being injected into my veins. Felt dizzy for hours after. | I have had a number of Ops before but never ever experienced anything so traumatic. It feels like a combination of acid and fire in your veins. Last only a few seconds but am traumatized for life !!! | M | 67 | 1X day | 6/8/2015 | 5 | LEEP | No side affects. Anesthesiologist administered through IV and I told him I had light tingling sensation in my face and then I woke up laughing..relieved..in a good mood. The Nurse told me I was talking about winning the Lottery while I was under...I do not recall saying this...nor do I play the lottery. Overall...good experience. | F | 45 | 1 days | 5/25/2015 | 1 | Colonoscopy | I was told I was coughing during procedure. Afterward I suffered acute sinus attack. My throat was sore and swollen. Worst of all, I STILL have laryngitis--5 weeks later. | i will not use again. | F | 64 | 1X day | 4/22/2015 | 5 | general anesthesia for circumcision | This was my first general anesthetic.I was nervous so my main concern was i would be out fast and i was.i didnt expect to have no after effects from it.They hooked up the line,it was warm tho not painful,i had a strange taste,felt momentarily dizzy then woke in recovery room.Didnt have hangover,knew exactly where I was. Its now three days after.Im extremely tired and expected that.Had sore glands in throat-ok now.Was very wheezy for two days however I do have asthma and i had the end of a chest infection on day of op.Had a brief heart flutter last nite,beat fast for few seconds,then fine.Tiredness is on real issue tho hey it beats seeing someone take a scissors to your penis.Now thats another story... | M | 43 | 1 days | 3/21/2015 | 5 | colonoscopy | When injected, I felt a cool spreading sensation rising within my chest area...rising up like a wave...then felt like I was just letting go into sleep. Woke in chair after procedure in good mood, no side affects. | Was a strange sensation in chest but not uncomfortable | M | 62 | 1 days not sure | 2/27/2015 | 2 | epidural injection in my lower back | An IV was placed (so I thought) was given propofol but never fell out. I was awake the whole time. When done, my arm was so painful at the IV site I couldn't move my arm up or down. Lasted 4 days. | I've had diprivan many times before with NO problems. This girl just don't know how to insert IV! | F | 55 | 1 days 30cc | 2/20/2015 | 5 | EGD/ UPPER ENDOSCOPY | As soon as this was injected into my IV, I could feel myself losing consciousness,in what seemed like slow motion. It probably only took 20 seconds for me to black out, but I don't like the feeling of losing control. I have had many surgeries and have never experienced this panic with anesthesia. Next time, I will tell the anesthesiologist to make sure I black out without warning. I don't remember the EGD and that's the important thing. I know I yelled out several times before it worked. | I was already anxious about this procedure, so maybe I should have been given an anti-anxiety med beforehand. I don't like the feeling of losing control, and that's how I felt suddenly after being injected. I was also trying to breathe through the bite block and that may have made the anxiety sensation worse. In fact, every other surgery I've ever had, the bite block was placed after I was unconscious. I was injected with Robinal beforehand and my mouth was dried out from it. I don't know if this may have had an effect or not. | F | 38 | 1 times unknown | 2/11/2015 | 4 | Upper endoscopy | I have had a few operations requiring general anesthesia and also had procedures done where I am breathing on my own (no need for general anesthesia). I have never had any side effects from any of the drugs given to me during these procedures except for the usual grogginess. But I do confess I tend to get nervous prior to been put out. This time I went in for and EGD. The anesthesiologist told me you should fall asleep in about 20 seconds and might feel a burning sensation on your arm. It felt like the longest 20 seconds in my life. I closed my eyes and started paying. I did not feel any burning but I did feel when the drug went into my brain and remember thinking, oh there is goes, then I felt it again. This time it was a little bit stronger sensation than the first. I remember thinking "again". I do not recall anything else. I had not in my life experienced anything like that before. I was like I felt the drug cross the brain barrier and in two heartbeats get into my br | F | 48 | 0 days NA 1X O | 11/3/2014 | 1 | Colonoscopy | Woke up in recovery with sore throat,hoarseness,coughing...flu like symptoms...a month later voice still raspy...what's wrong with my voice? | F | 65 | 1 days | 10/15/2014 | 1 | Colonoscopy | I appeared to wake up fast at first, but after three days, I feel like I have the flu,(without the coughing and congestion). I'm very dizzy, I have absolutely no energy, very easily agitated and very emotional. NEVER AGAIN!!!! | F | 44 | 1 days Don't know | 10/6/2014 | 1 | Colonoscopy | I have laryngitis like symptons after having procedure a week ago. My nose literally dripped for a day, I am coughing continually, and I can hardly talk. My throat feels raw, and I feel like I have a bad cold. Dr. said call him if I start to run a fever. When is this going to go away? And my lower abdomen still hurts, and I am constipated. I don't want to do this procedure ever again, and am now afraid to be anesthitised. | F | 65 | 1 days | 9/27/2014 | 5 | Colonoscopy and Upper Endoscopy | I have Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and an overall phobia of all medications so was terrified at the thought of using Propofol but had to have a Colonoscopy due to an extremely high family history of Colon Caner and symptoms I was having. After getting prepped for the procedure the assisting nurse had me lie on my side and told me to open my mouth to insert a guard for the Upper Endoscopy and that's the last thing I remember. There was no time to panic. While she had me distracted the Anesthetist injected the Propofol into my IV. I had absolutely no problems with it and have no memory of anything regarding the procedure. The next thing I recall is being escorted out to the car by my husband. I think it's a wonderful, fast acting anesthetic and would gladly use it again for any procedure. The after effects were only that I was more groggy than I had expected for the remainder of the day and on the second day developed a runny nose and some mild sneezing. I didn't think it was | F | 48 | 1X day | 9/23/2014 | 1 | colonoscopy | Seem to be having pain in my jaw on right side, since evening after my procedure. Hurts to chew or clench my teeth... | F | 58 | 1 days ?? | 9/13/2014 | 4 | upper endoscopy | I started feeling that nice, drowsy sensation as it began to work and then BAM. My ears began to ring and a loud roaring sound started. I actually tried sit up and I remember saying--or trying to--"something is not right! ". I felt like I was sinking back or fading away but was still very aware of things. Both my Dr and the anesthesiologist reacted, my doctor walking quickly over and the anesthesiologist checking my IV. I swore, SWORE I heard someone say is she crashing? For a split second I thought am I dying? The next thing I remember is waking up. No nausea, no memory of the procedure, no foggy brain. It did the job but I wonder what happened. | F | 49 | 1 days ?? | 8/9/2014 | 2 | Colonoscopy | Not aware of any pain during the colonoscopy. When I came to I sneezed several times. My throat was sore and my mouth VERY dry. It felt funny to drink water; eating a sandwich was very difficult. I was ok until about 14 hrs after the colonoscopy when I noticed my throat glands had swollen to the size of golf balls. Four days later the swelling has improved to small grapes. When I reported the swelling to the dr he implied it must be from something else. Thankfully the anesthesiologist was more open to accepting my symptoms. If I'd known to expect this it wouldn't have been so scary. | F | 64 | 1 days 100 mg | 8/8/2014 | 1 | Gall Bladder laproscopic surgery | Extremely Delayed Awakening, as in I didn't wake up until 24 hours later, the next day after surgery! The surgery center was very worried -- they did lab work every hour for about 24 hours! All of my LABS were WAY out of range. NEVER NEVER let anyone use this on you. If your surgeon insists its a great anesthesia, RUN! AND NEVER NEVER NEVER LET A CERTIFIED NURSE ANESTHESIST ADMINISTER THIS, EVER NEVER! ONLY LET AN M.D. DO YOUR ANESTHESIA! | Horrible DANGEROUS medication. DO NOT let anyone use this on you for anesthesia. It can kill you! | F | 58 | 1 days 1X day | 8/3/2014 |
