Anesthesia-related Complications

Anesthesia-related complications can occur during or after medical procedures that require anesthesia, which numbs pain or sedates patients. These complications may include allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, or heart rhythm issues. Some may experience nausea, vomiting, or confusion upon waking. Rarely, serious complications like unconsciousness or brain damage can arise. Factors such as the patient's health, type of anesthesia used, and the procedure being performed can influence the risk. Anesthesiologists take careful measures to monitor patients and minimize these risks, ensuring safety during surgery or medical interventions.
