Title: risk of anesthesia
Post by: Conan on August 02, 2015, 12:37:58 AM: I often see in the articles that most people are afraid of deformation, nerve damage... but neglect totally that the real risk exists in anesthesia , since the operation requires general anesthesia, this can sometimes be severe , and can cause death, then we must assume before deciding to make such an operation.. if anyone knows information about anesthesia, we really need advices, because it's really a big risk.. :'(

No I don't think it is, as far as I know the chance of death is less than 0.1%.

I read only one science article about die because LL(15 years ago), and it's because he had a fat embolism.

Yo, no way it's 10%. Does 1 out of 10 patients die through anaesthesia?

Post by: maximize on August 08, 2015, 04:19:48 AM: I've been under general anesthesia multiple times before for other surgery so I don't really worry about it. It's nothing new for me or my body.

Deaths from anesthesia are either due to an incompetent anesthetist or rare genetically heritable conditions like malignant hyperthermia.
