Our anesthesia providers are experts in keeping you comfortable and pain free during surgery. The type of anesthesia you receive will depend on numerous factors, including the type of procedure, your medical condition, and your medical history. Prior to your procedure, your anesthesiologist will review your medical history and other information to determine your anesthesia care plan.
Our physicians and CRNAs are committed to providing you with the best care throughout your procedure, from putting you at ease before the procedure, to providing compassionate care in the recovery room. We are experts in General, Regional, and Monitored Anesthesia Care. We recognize that the work is not complete once we assemble the team that is right for you. It is equally important to retain the talented members of your new “Anesthesia Team”. With More than 15 CRNAs and 4 Physicians on staff, we can accomodate any staffing needs
Monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is often described as intravenous sedation. It is an anesthesia service in which an anesthesiologist or CRNA continually monitors and supports the patient’s vital functions and diagnoses and treats issues that may arise. Intravenous medications may be given at varying levels depending on the procedure and the patient’s condition. Your safety and comfort are of utmost importance. Occasionally MAC may need to be converted to general anesthesia.
With general anesthesia, the patient is unconscious or “asleep” for the duration of the surgery. General anesthesia is most commonly administered through a combination of intravenous drugs and inhaled gases (anesthetics). The patient is being continuously monitored throughout the procedure.
Regional anesthesia involves rendering only a portion of a patient’s body numb or insensitive to a surgical procedure. It can be used alone or in conjunction with general anesthesia to make a body area numb and provide hours of post-operative pain relief. Common examples of employing a regional anesthetic include shoulder and upper extremity surgery. Cesarean section, hip, knee, vascular, foot, and prostate surgeries have all been successfully performed with regional techniques.
