"Anesthesia and Pediatric Respiratory Infections" featuring Dr. Dinner (AnesthesiaMD)

"It is not in the best interest of the child to do an operation and provide anesthesia when they are afflicted with an upper respiratory infection." Doctor Dinner, Anesthesiologist of New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center, explains how children should never undergo anesthesia if they have upper respiratory infections, unless the surgery is an emergency.

It would have been more informative if he had have explained WHY. The video presented the dr saying the same fact twice, but I was hoping to find out why.
