No Fear of Sleep: Everything You Need to Know About Anesthesia

Are you nervous about "going under" before surgery?

You're not alone.

For many patients and families, anesthesia is one of the most frightening parts of medical care, yet it's also one of the safest and most carefully managed fields in modern medicine.

No Fear of Sleep pulls back the curtain on what really happens before, during, and after anesthesia.

Written in a clear, compassionate, and reassuring voice, this guide helps patients, families, and caregivers replace fear with confidence.

Inside, you'll discover:

✔ Who makes up the anesthesia team, and how they protect you every second of the way.

✔ The truth behind common myths, from "What if I don't wake up?" to "Does anesthesia harm my memory?"

✔ What to expect for different procedures: colonoscopy, endoscopy, childbirth, children's surgeries, and more.

✔ How anesthesia is tailored for special groups like children, pregnant women, and older adults.

✔ Practical checklists, questions to ask your doctor, and tips to make your experience safer and less stressful.

Behind these explanations stands Raúl, an anesthesiologist with over seven years of experience in both public and private hospitals in Spain.

He has accompanied thousands of patients through one of life's most delicate transitions: from consciousness to sleep, from uncertainty to trust.

Raúl's vocation was born from a deep desire to bring calm and safety when everything seems to pause. For him, anesthesia is not just a medical procedure, it is an act of care, a promise that everything will be alright.

This book reflects both his medical expertise and his human perspective: a tribute to the patients who have entrusted him with their lives, and to the quiet guardians who stand watch behind the surgical curtain.

Knowledge is the best medicine for fear. With this book, you'll walk into the operating room not with dread, but with trust, knowing that science, compassion, and responsibility are guiding you safely toward recovery.
