There is no limit to the number of times you can have general anesthesia in your lifetime, as long as your body can tolerate it and there are no serious complications. General anesthesia is the process of delivering anesthetic drugs into the body, such as through the respiratory tract or a vein, thereby depressing the central nervous system, and this process is completely reversible. Therefore, if, after evaluation, the patient’s body can tolerate general anesthesia and no serious complications have occurred, he or she can undergo general anesthesia, and there is generally no limit to the number of times he or she can undergo general anesthesia in his or her lifetime. Prior to anesthesia, the anesthesiologist evaluates the patient to determine if he or she can tolerate anesthesia. Complications of anesthesia include reflux aspiration, airway obstruction, inadequate ventilation, hypoxemia, and changes in blood pressure, all of which are preventable and treatable. Before anesthesia, please communicate fully with your anesthesiologist.
