Answers:
In life or death situations they will do EVERYTHING to save your life!. If they did not families could sue for wrongful death!. It may have felt wrong but I hope you understand there may have been no other choice!. They can also sedate patients if they are having certain medical issues or even if they are voilent or unstable mentally!.
In ideal conditions they will not choose to operate in the ER because it is less sterile and safe!. A planned surgery often has better outcomes!. Which is why normally you would go to the OR(operating room)!. Also in the ER if they can stable you they will take you to the OR!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are comprimised and need immediate intervention, you can be operated on wherever you are!. There are numerous small surgical-type procedures that are done at the bedside and can be done with some type of anesthesia at the bedside!.
If you require intubation for assistance with your breathing, you will be sedated so you dont pull the tube out!. This will happen in the ER!. If you need an immediate chest tube inserted, this can be done in the ER and you should be sedated!.
The list goes on!. It can happen anywhere if needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

what kind of surgery did you have!. lots of outpatient surgery is done in an emergency room!. sometimes, if it truly is and emergency, yes, i've seen trachs put in, a chest opened up to massage a heart!. the emergency room is not anything like tv makes it out to be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
