A member asked:
How likely is it for acid reflux symptoms to cause a problem during a routine surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Airway management: During elective or routine surgery management of your airway is very important. Patients with acid reflux tend to aspirate (stomach acid rises up into back of throat and mouth) which can end up in the lungs, or aspiration. Tell your doc and your anesthesia provider if you have acid reflux before your surgery.
