If you have been given gas, it is turned off and it is eliminated through your lungs and you wake up. If you were given an IV sleep medicine like propofol, the amount is reduced and when the level in your blood goes down, you wake up. They don’t decreased the gas or IV medicine until the surgery is finishing.
Once the anesthetic administration stops, the gas is breathed off over time until the concentration in the blood is low enough to regain mental capacity.
