There is no single antidote for general anesthetics, as the effects of these agents can vary widely depending on the specific drug used. However, certain medications like flumazenil can reverse the effects of benzodiazepines, which are sometimes used as part of anesthesia. In cases of opioid-based anesthetics, naloxone may be used to counteract respiratory depression. Overall, the management of anesthetic recovery typically involves supportive care and monitoring rather than a specific antidote.

Why can't you eat after an epidural?

It makes you higher risk of having a caesarean section and occasionally during a caesarean section, if there are complications, you need a general anaesthetic, where you are completely put to sleep. When under general anaesthetic, you have no gag reflex and could be sick and choke on it and die, but if you have an empty stomach, this won't happen
