A member asked:
Is it still dangerous for a sickle cell carrier to have a general anasthetic during surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It Shouldn't Be!: Patients with sickle cell trait (carriers) are at minimal risk of developing any clinical problems except under very severe environmental conditions. Strange things can always happen, but a good anesthesiologist should be able to get a patient with sickle cell trait through any operation safely.
