I will have to ask about that and the monitors, thanks for the help.

I am worried about the future, because if nothing else, I will want to have her teeth cleaned. She does have mild hydrocephalus which could have been part of the cause but I am also going to have some tests run including a bile acid test to determine what else could have gone wrong. I was worried about her waking up. I never thought to worry about a bad reaction afterwards.
Are you certain she was not given an injectable sedative before they placed the endotracheal tube into the airway? That is how the gas is administered.
