Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The first thing to do is to share this information with your doctor. He will be a better person to decide whether to postpone the surgery or not. If it is not an emergency or an urgent surgery, I would advise my patients to postpone it till the Methamphetamine is out of the system. As you have not mentioned the surgery and the diagnosis, I will not be able to guide you on whether you need to go ahead with the surgery or not.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. In general anesthesia, a patient is put on ventilatory support as he cannot breathe during general anesthesia. To achieve this, we need to pass a tube, known as an endotracheal tube, down the throat to the lungs. This sometimes leads to some swelling, medically known as edema in the throat.
