Does surgery for intestinal adhesion removal present greater risk of ARDS from the anesthesia than do other surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia?
I am interested in hearing the story of the individual posting this question. We in the last 6 weeks nearly lost a dear friend with ARDS following routine lysis of post colectomy adhesions. Our friend was treated with aggressive chemo and radiation prior to a partial colectomy 3 years ago. She currently is free of any evidence of residual colon cancer. Age under 50.
