Handling Risks Of Anesthesia

[randomvanish]

There are deaths only caused by anesthesia, is there anything preventive before surgery, to not be harmed by anesthesia?

How doctors analyze risk factors related with patient's health?

If you dont trust the doctor not to kill you with anesthesia, I would not trust him to cut open my face either.

it's not about trust.
doctors can be helpless about complications.
some people have higher risks.

Its the doctors job to make sure bro. They will do tests before surgery, including blood test and urine testing.
Probably the doctor wouldnt even administer it, it would be done by an anesthesiologist. The chance of dying is around 1/200,000 regardless.

i believe it's 5.5/10.000 sudden death by heart related issues.

It's just as said like, I guess the less fit you are the worse, and they tell you a certain period you have to fast for.

And those 5 people were probably 85+ years old on the brink of death. Anesthesia is safe, if you die from it you are truly inferior lmao
