When we become sedated where does our consciouness go?
I've been intubated and connected to a respirator machine on three different occassions. The last time was approximately two weeks ago.
From each event I recall fragments of memories from points where I was brought to or came to a semi-conscious state. More recently I recall coming to just enough to realize my arms were restrained to the bedside rails and I attempted lifting them. Then nothing.
There has been absolutely no recall from the periods when I was sedated.
I don't sense any memory. LOL. Nothingness. Nirvana.
Does anyone know what occurs in/with the mind during periods of heavy sedation???
