Después de la mayoría de las cirugías, el equipo de atención médica desconecta el ventilador una vez que se pasa el efecto de la anestesia y usted comienza a respirar por su cuenta. Se quitará el tubo de su garganta. Esto suele suceder antes de que se despierte por completo de la cirugía. Cuando se despierte, es posible que ni siquiera sepa que había estado conectado a un ventilador. El único signo puede ser un leve dolor de garganta durante un periodo breve. El dolor de garganta es provocado por el tubo que fue colocado en sus vías respiratorias para conectarlo al ventilador.
