Anesthesia is the use of medicines to prevent pain during surgery and other procedures. These medicines are called anesthetics. They may be given by injection, inhalation, topical lotion, spray, eye drops, or skin patch. They cause you to have a loss of feeling or awareness. There are several forms of anesthesia. The type of anesthesia you receive will depend on the type of surgery and your medical condition. Some types of Anesthesia are:
- Local anesthesia
- Monitored Anesthesia Care
- Regional anesthesia
- Spinal/Epidural
- Nerve Block
- Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks
- IV Regional Block
- General Anesthesia
Because anesthesia and surgery affect every system in the body, your anesthesia provider will conduct a preoperative evaluation. Sometimes this interview is initiated by a registered nurse or a nurse practitioner in person; in other cases, you will be interviewed over the telephone. During this interview they will review your medical history and any other pertinent information needed to safely administer your anesthetic. He/she will also inform you about what to expect during your surgery. On the day of your surgery, the anesthesia team will meet with you before your surgery to review your entire medical history obtained during the interview as well as results of any medical tests conducted during your preoperative evaluation.
