You will be and automatically placed on a ventilator for general anesthesia. There is no stopping breathing. Not under a general anesthesia. You are intubated. Your power to breathe is taken care of. Trouble with blood pressure changes. Heart irregular beats and such are the issues. If you are only under monitored anesthesia care meaning sedation without being intubated, then your airway and breathing must be monitored more carefully.

Thanks,

Dr. Marvin.
