Anesthesiologists provide care for many surgical and medical procedures that require general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or sedation. The type of anesthesia needed depends on the procedure and your individual health needs.
Patients typically undergo a pre-anesthesia assessment before a procedure. This gives the Anesthesiologist an opportunity to review your medical history and discuss the planned anesthesia approach, potential risks, and recovery.
Medical conditions, medications, allergies, previous surgeries, and past reactions to anesthesia can influence anesthesia planning. Providing complete and accurate information helps your Anesthesiologist plan appropriate care.
Depending on their expertise and the procedure, Anesthesiologists may use regional techniques such as spinal, epidural, or peripheral nerve blocks to numb a specific area of the body while managing comfort throughout the procedure.
