what do they do if they run out of anastetic?

Answers:
Assuming the team is prepared for surgery, running out of anesthesia wouldnt occur.
Assuming that stock has been ordered, running out of anesthesia wouldnt occur.
Assuming surgery is in progress and the anesthesia has been depleted, surgery would be aborted and the patient closed up as soon as possible, which then would require falsifying the OR report and patients chart to avoid a lawsuit.
In that case, what do they do if they run out of anesthesia is the same thing they do if they suddenly have Montezuma's revenge and that is: they change their scrubs.

I ran our of O2 on a strange anesthesia machine and had to go to a mask and ether.

Do you mean anesthetic? I guess they'd have to cancel the procedure. If anesthetic somehow ran out while a procedure was being performed, that would reflect gross malpractice, and I guess the procedure underway would have to be immediately halted and a panic to procure more anesthetic would ensue.

They hum really loudly so that they cant hear your screams.

they just clonk you on the head and continue to work, oy vey, then when you wake they precribe Tylenol for any "surgery-related pain." ;-)

Why?Are you having surgery and you think they will run out! (If) and only if! - it would never happen - maybe on a "battle field", under heavy fire.Lighten-up - this is the 21st Century, stop watching TV - bottom line - IF they ever run out of anaesthetic - well I guess you'll just have to tough it out..

They don`t begin surgery.
