YOUR ANESTHETIST (CRNA)
Our anesthetist will talk to you the day of your surgery to explain all aspects of anesthesia and review your individual medical profile. If you are prone to nausea, please discuss this with the anesthetist. Special medication can be used to prevent or eliminate nausea if it occurs.
We use a "light" general anesthesia for your comfort and safety when the operation will last longer than one hour.
Light anesthesia allows a more rapid recovery, free of nausea and "sedative hangovers." Local anesthesia is recommended for short, minor procedures.
Shortly after the surgery is completed, you will awaken on the O.R. table. The anesthetist and a nurse will assist you into a recliner and make you comfortable en route to the recovery room. When fully recovered (usually 30-45 minutes), you will be dressed and assisted to your transportation and you will go home with a family member or friend.
We use modern monitoring techniques, including EKG, CO2 blood pressure monitors, and a pulse oximeter, a new non-invasive monitor, which measures your body oxygen for your comfort and safety.
"I'd recommend you to anybody. I love my new look."
