- junikaefer 1y agoGeneral anestesia is pretty secure, but 1:100.000 still end deadly. Thats why general anesthesia is avoided whenever possible, especially for small procedures like that. It’s also way more complicated, requiring a pre-medication talk, an anesthetist being present and supervised rooms where patients can wake up.
