Preparing for Surgery

Anesthetic Plan

Because there is often more than one way to successfully provide for your safety and comfort during your operation, you may have the choice of more than one anesthetic technique. In addition, options for pain control after surgery will be shared with you.

Your complete medical record will be available for the anesthesiologist taking care of you on your day of surgery to review for a clear understanding of your needs and medical condition. The final decision about the anesthetic you will receive will be made by your anesthesiologist on the day of surgery in consultation with you and your surgeon.
