Could Shortness Of Breath Be Due To The Side Effect Of Anesthesia?

My husband just neck spinal surgery 3 days ago removing 4 5 6 discs. He was put under for 3 1/2 hours he is now very short of breath and feels like he has to gasp for air. Could this be as side effect of the anesthesia or maybe the something could be wrong.
