Q

state strategies to minimize risk

A

avoid full stomachs, emergency surgery, cardiac problems, emergency c-section (high risk of general anesthesia, high risk of loss of airway and aspiration), light anesthesia = recall (risk of PTSD, use a BIS), maintain anesthesia equipment and competency.
Don’t do an EMERGENT C-SECTION on the patient who just ate 14 KRYSTALS and has new onset A-FIB if your BIS monitor and anesthesia MACHINE aren’t working.
