How To Prevent Seizing Of Throat On The Breathing Tube?
I am concerned about a scheduled surgery for diverticulitis. During a bladder sling surgery 2 years ago, my throat 'seized' on the breathing tube. Is this likely to happen again. I am a diabetic with 3 heart stents (11 yr old stents) Good physical condition, 69 yr old female, non smoker
