What should you not do before anesthesia?
Many will tell you not to eat or drink anything after midnight on the night before your operation. That’s because anesthesia makes you sleepy and relaxed. The muscles of your stomach and throat also relax, which can cause food to back up and get into your lungs while you’re out. An empty stomach helps prevent this.
Does general anesthesia require intubation?
Intubation is required when general anesthesia is given. The anesthesia drugs paralyze the muscles of the body, including the diaphragm, which makes it impossible to take a breath without a ventilator. Most patients are extubated, meaning the breathing tube is removed, immediately after surgery.
What medications should be avoided after surgery?
Aspirin, enteric-coated, baby, and plain aspirin or any other product containing aspirin. In some cases, we may recommend stopping your aspirin 1 week before surgery. In others cases, low-dose aspirin may be continued based on your medical condition. Please discuss with your surgeon.
What are the chances of dying from general anesthesia?
