Dr. Anand Prem M.D's Expert Contributions
Can you have general anesthesia without intubation?
In short "Yes" but depends on several different factors - type and location of surgery, length of surgery, position of the patient during surgery ( on back vs on stomach or side) other contributing patient factors ( reflux, obesity, patient with potentially difficult airway anatomy) and the need for muscle relaxation for the surgery. Laryngeal mask airway can be used in some cases instead of a standard endotracheal tube. Has to be discussed with your anesthesiologist for more specific answer. A. Prem, MD. READ MORE
Can you get your tonsils removed without anesthesia?
No, removing tonsils without anesthesia would not be tolerated due to pain and potentially stimulating your "gag reflex" limiting exposure to the site of surgery which can make the surgeon's work harder. A. Prem, MD. READ MORE
