Anesthesia care

An anesthesiologist with you, start to finish.

Your surgeon focuses on the operation. A specialist anesthesiologist focuses on you.

What the anesthesiologist does

Reviews your health history before surgery and plans your anesthetic with you.
Remains present throughout the procedure.
Monitors breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen continuously.
Adjusts your level of comfort, from local anesthesia alone to sedation or general anesthesia, according to your preference and safety.
Responds to changing clinical needs and manages your recovery and discharge readiness.

Does sedation always mean no breathing tube?

No. A planned sedation approach does not guarantee that airway assistance or conversion to general anesthesia will never be needed.

Having an anesthesiologist present does not eliminate all risk. It means a specialist is dedicated to monitoring you and responding promptly.
