ELI5. If I were under general anaesthesia and then underwent critical trauma (ie. fed to a large animal, severed in some way) would I feel anything or wake up?
(Is there a point where general anaesthesia stops doing stuff when the body goes through enough trauma)
Sorry I realise how mental this question is haha

General anaesthesia can work a number of ways. While the trauma is still occurring during anesthetia the brain is not associating the feeling with anything. There are different ways you can receive general anesthesia, for example ketamine will remove your association to pain but allow you to remember things and respond, or there is propofol which makes you unconscious
