How likely is survival of a 70 year old man going in for a general anaesthetic..?

Anesthesia: The survivability of any patient at any age is predicated on the procedure and the patient's physiology. Not on general anesthesia alone.

Good anesthesia: A good anesthesiologist will give a 70 year old man a great chance of survival. This age range is common for anesthesiologists now a days.
