I’d love to get a BA soon but my biggest fear is general anesthesia. Nowadays, what is the likelihood of patients waking up during surgery? If I have seasonal asthma, am I still a candidate for genera anesthesia? How do I know if I might have complications? I’m in my late 20s, active, healthy female.

Answer: General Anesthesia - can I wake up during surgery? How do I know if I’m a good candidate for general anesthesia? Recent studies report that around 5 per cent of surgery patients may wake up on the operating table but not recall specifics about that time period. For a active, 20 year old healthy female, reading about anesthesia awareness can needlessly increase your anxiety. Anesthesiologists have a wide range of pain-killing and consciousness-reducing drugs at their disposal, and they can find the exact match that will work for you. My AAAASF surgery center employs only board certified anesthesiologists who review along with me your medical history to determine if you are likely to have complications from the medication. Seasonal asthma does not fall into this category.

Answer: Anesthesia General anesthesia is very safe even fir patients with asthma. Stories you hear of people waking up during anesthesia are very rare and usually it occurs because the patient had sedation, not general anesthesia.
