Is there a danger in getting a general anesthetic at the hopsital when you suffer from emphesema? Can it cause harm? If yes, what kind of harm?This was for surgery on a right patella.

hi there, I have alsorts wrong with my chest including emohysema chronic asthma, c.O.A.D and permenant fractured ribs due to osteoperosis, and trust me an aneastheatist wouldn't touch me with a barge pole Smile I was even given a wide berth at the begining og all this.. There is always a risk with an anaesthetic even if you are 100% healthy, and that comes from my chest specialist !! Please be careful and always ask ask ask untill you are completly satisfied. Hope this helped shirley
