However, whether general anesthesia should depend on the patient’s general condition and surgical situation, and the anesthesiologist to assess the risk of anesthesia after the decision. 1. If the cough is accompanied by respiratory secretions, general anesthesia is not possible. Because under general anesthesia if the respiratory secretions produced more, after general anesthesia is not easy to discharge, there may be a risk of asphyxiation. 2. Cough if there is obvious inflammatory lung disease, you can not carry out general anesthesia surgery, because it may cause respiratory distress, respiratory failure and so on. 3. If it is an elective surgery, it is recommended to perform the surgery in a better physical condition, to find out the cause of the cough first, to control the cough for the cause of the cough, and then to assess whether general anesthesia and surgery. 4. If the surgery is more urgent, it is possible to carry out general anesthesia in the case of a slight cough. General mild cough, the impact of its lung function is relatively small, will not have too much interference with the operation. During anesthesia is the most easy and the first to be affected by respiratory function, coughing when general anesthesia is more dangerous, it is recommended that in the case of coughing need to do general anesthesia consult with anesthesiologists, anesthesiologists to guide and decide whether the general anesthesia.
