General anesthesia is poison, nothing else. I hated it and did not approve it. I was unconscious early on and never even met the anesthesiologist. Damn them all to hell. I totally hate hospitals and doctors. Especially those insensitive clod surgeons. 😡😡😡😣😣😣😠😠😠

i get this spasm out of nowhere. sometimes i just swallow saliva wrong, or breathe wrong, or i can even just sniffle and it might cause it. it's like my throat gets confused with what is air and what is something i'm supposed to swallow. it's terrifying. i'm 80 years old and it exhausts me to get thru an attack. i'm afraid the older i get i won't have the strength to do it. i haven't seen it mentioned but for me the spasm creates a lot of saliva with air bubbles and i've learned to stand over the kitchen sink and spit out everything i can and try not to swallow it, just try to get rid of it and at the same time i'm panicking to get air. i do have acid reflux but i've not had a spasm because something was coming up in my throat, it's always been related to swallowing.

Thank you.

Great info! I hate when they prescribe those drugs to me. I never take them, I only ever use over the counter!

Thank you! Just moving into PACU and trying to learn all I can.

Mine is caused by injury- chiropractor injured me & severe aerophagia & other injuries

I am glad I found your page! I am currently in a PACU training program and am so nervous about it. This helps a lot! Thank you!

Thank you for this. I just started getting this after having Covid.

Your PACU content is exceptionally good

where is the part 5.2?? your videos are informative!

is there a phase 3 in pacu??

Thanks nurse Cathy! I appreciated Eladio's questions.

Sentinel events created nurse staffing recommendations learn about it here!

I have been a critical care nurse for 17 years and a few months ago I moved to PACU. I noticed my first few days there I felt dizzy and a little nauseous. I just thought I had a bug. But over a few months I noticed I repeatedly had those symptoms and only while at work. I never called off or anything and nobody else seemed to have this issue. I really thought it was in my head. After three months I just felt PACU wasn’t for me and transferred back to my old unit. I’ve not felt dizzy since. This video makes me wonder if I was just more sensitive to the WAG than other nurses.

thank you for making this chanel. 😊

Do not bend your neck forward when eating especially, that can start laryngospasm

I have had three laryngospasms and I was terrified as I thought I was going to die. Could vomiting bring on an attack as it feels like acid in the throat doesnt help. If you were vomiting and it happened you would surely choke on vomit as it couldnt come up? This terrifies me.
