[Risks and complications anesthesia with intubation during dental treatment].
In many hospitals and dental clinics the delivery of dental care under general anesthesia is a routine practice. Most often mentally handicapped patients and uncooperative children are concerned. ⋯ Main problems observed were difficult intubation and marked drop in blood pressure. Despite of a relatively low anesthetic risk we still limit ambulatory anesthesias to patients belonging to the ASA risk groups 1 and 2 with a maximum extent of the narcosis of 2 hours.
