Is a ventilator required during surgery?
Disease description:
I’ve been troubled by kidney stones for a long time and am preparing to undergo surgical treatment. However, I’m curious—will I need to be placed on a ventilator during the surgery?
Hello, under normal circumstances, a ventilator is not required. However, if you have kidney stones and asthma simultaneously, and fail to regain consciousness after surgery, you may need to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for further stabilization—during which mechanical ventilation would be necessary. In daily life, you should avoid foods high in oxalate, uric acid, protein, and purines. Instead, opt for low-fat, low-salt, light, and easily digestible meals. Engage in appropriate physical activity and maintain a healthy weight. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
