What are the odds something will go wrong for a person of their 20s?

What about being under for 5 hours?

What about someone who has heart problems?

What does it feel like?

Mortality directly related to anaesthetic management is very uncommon but may be caused by pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents,[48] asphyxiation,[49] or anaphylaxis.[50] These in turn may result from malfunction of anaesthesia-related equipment or, more commonly, human error. A 1978 study found that 82% of preventable anaesthesia mishaps were the result of human error.[51] In a 1954 review of 599,548 surgical procedures at 10 hospitals in the United States between 1948 and 1952, 384 deaths were attributed to anaesthesia, for an overall mortality rate of 0.064%.[52]
