Everything we use will be processed and eliminated within minutes to hours. But you can speed the process a bit with deep breathing and hydration…but minimally.
There is really nothing you can actively do to "flush anesthesia out of your body." All anesthetic agents are chemicals that are either injectable medication of inhalation gases. As such, removal of these medications rely on normal mechanisms of liver and kidney function to remove them from the body. Well, OK. Inhalation anesthesia gases also depend on pulmonary mechanisms (i.e., breathing them out) to remove them. But there is really nothing an individual can actively do to remove these medications any faster than the normal clearance mechanisms. Someone with compromised liver, kidney, or lung functions may find a small increase in the amount of time to clear them from the body, but even in those situations, there is nothing to actively change, which will remove them any faster.
