Parkinsons and General Anaesthetic
My husband has been told he will need a General Anesthetic (GA) to have a double cataract operation because of his shaking head. Presumably he will be under anesthetic for only 30 mins or so. Has anyone with Parkinsons any experience of undergoing a GA and any thoughts and advice?
I would certainly consult his neurologist and make him/ her aware of the intention to use an anesthetic. Since we are all so different in how we react to various procedures this would be the best place for reassurance.Best of luck with the surgery.
