Yes, it is as safe as any other general anesthetic. Certain surgeries do not require general anesthesia. It is a conversation to be had by the surgeon, anesthesiologist and patient. It will depend on many factors, including the type of surgery, the comorbidities of the patient and the expert opinion of the anesthesiologist. If you have a qualified, certified anesthesia provider with a physician-led team, safety should be the priority.
