Didn’t realise caffeine was used IV in anesthesia. Apparently it speeds up awakening (which makes sense to me as a non-medic). https://theanesthesiaconsultant.com/2019/06/18/intravenous-c...

But the story in OP is that the patient received caffeine IV at the beginning of the surgery (inducing severe anxiety).

Does anyone know why you would do this?
