As of Wednesday afternoon, it had been approximately 26 hours since Magana went in for surgery and 19 since the coaching staff first relayed any sign of a complication.
“She’s in a coma, and we’re waiting to hear some positive news,” Lamastus told MMA Junkie. “The surgery went fine. The problem was anesthesia. It’s very rare that patients react bad to anesthesia, but it does happen, and I guess this is one of those rare cases. But I’m being positive. She’ll be fine, and she’ll wake up. She’s a fighter. I’m just staying positive.”
Anesthesia complications are rare and death related to anesthesia is even more rare, according to the Cleveland Clinic. According to a 2016 article on anesthesia, one in every approximately 200,000 die from anesthesia. New medical procedures lower the risk of paralysis as well. Complications, mainly being partially awake during surgery, typically arise due to preexisting conditions or emergency surgeries, per the Mayo Clinic.
Lamastus told MMA Junkie that Magana’s aunt died from anesthesia. In a video shared to her Twitter account, she voices concern about being allergic to anesthesia and waking up
