I went to get clearance from the anesthesiologist and was told they didn't feel comfortable putting me to sleep before They were able to put the oxygen tube in. So now I will have to be sudated and my mouth and throat numbed then the oxygen tube can be placed in my throat then they will put me to sleep. Has anyone ever had this problem?
If you have a potentially difficult airway it is a completely normal & safe method to secure your airway with the breathing tube while you are spontaneously breathing BEFORE being put to sleep completely.
Anesthesiologist said I have to be awake for the placing of the oxygen tube
