 Long periods of anesthesia (>2 hours) with volatile anesthetics are often associated with cardiovascular depression and poor tissue perfusion, leading to problems such as cardiac arrest or postanesthetic myopathy.

 Intraoperative hypotension during anesthesia has clearly been associated with postanesthetic myopathy, and can still occur with short anesthetic periods. Direct arterial pressure monitoring should be used during lengthy anesthetic periods.

 Postanesthetic myopathy may lead to bone fracture or dislocation.

 Postanesthetic airway obstruction and pulmonary edema may be prevented by keeping the head in a normal position thereby reducing the risk of laryngeal nerve paralysis, and with good airway management in the recovery period.
