Why might a 70-year-old have a stoke during arm surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: A 70 year old would have multiple reasons to have a stroke with or without surgery. During surgery, a stroke may occur as the result of changes in blood pressure that occurs due to anesthetic effects and responses to pain. It could also be coincidental, but there is nothing specific that would relate arm surgery per se to a predisposition to stroke.
