Does general anesthesia have long term affects?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: Many variables. Your age at the time, the reason for the anaesthesia, and most importantly the length of the anaesthesia are all factors that may cause long term affects. Also have to consider your vitals during the anaesthesia and especially oxygenation. Overall though anaesthesia is much safer today than ever.

Generally no: Assuming there is no serious complication (stroke, heart attack, hyperthermia), there are no long term effects from GA
