We stop all anesthesia medicine and give you fresh oxygen. You will wake up yourself.
Usually when anesthetic gases are discontinued, you start to breathe. Other drugs are used for reversal of muscular paralysis. May take minutes or a half hour for you to wake. Sometimes it takes longer. More than one hour is delayed awakening.
