Is it true that general anesthesia causes dry mouth in patients after they wake from surgery?
Unclear. Two sources report dry mouth among postoperative complaints after general anesthesia, but both are partial: one attributes it partly to fasting and mechanical ventilation, and the other is limited to thyroidectomy patients without isolating anesthesia as the cause.
