Why It’s Important to Have a Medical Escort After Anesthesia - MyFredy

After anesthesia, it’s common to feel groggy or disoriented for several hours. Even if you feel alert, your reflexes, balance, and judgment may still be impaired. This is why outpatient centers require a responsible adult — not a rideshare — to take you home.

At MyFredy, our medical escorts are trained to:

  • Stay with you through check-in and discharge
  • Monitor for dizziness, fatigue, or confusion
  • Assist with safe transportation to and from the car
  • Help you get settled safely at home

Having a trained medical escort helps ensure a smoother, safer recovery — and gives family members peace of mind knowing you’re in good hands.
