General Anesthesia
General anesthesia occurs when complete unconsciousness is reached and is frequently associated with the need for an airway device to support breathing. Under General Anesthesia, the patient is rendered unconscious and has no awareness of perception of sensation throughout the procedure.
Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)
MAC, also commonly referred to as sedation, is when the patient is given an anesthetic that helps relieve pain, discomfort, and anxiety. MAC anesthesia is a spectrum ranging from light sedation to deep sedation depending on the patient’s needs and the surgical procedure.
Regional
Regional Anesthesia is used for the administration of local anesthesia to numb distinct parts of your body. Frequently, regional anesthesia is combined with general anesthesia or MAC to provide the greatest degree of safety and comfort. You may remain awake, or you may be sedated to keep you relaxed during the operation. At times, a general anesthetic is needed as well. Additionally, we provide neuraxial anesthesia, such as spinals and epidurals.
Local
Local anesthesia is used to prevent pain or to numb a small site. A local anesthetic drug is injected directly into tissue to numb a smaller, specific area of the body. This can be used for some types of minor surgery.
At Montgomery Anesthesia Associates, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the best possible anesthesia care. Our team is here to address any questions or concerns you may have before or after your procedure, and to ensure that you are provided with the safest anesthesia plan for your surgery.
All of our patients are treated with specifically tailored care that has been fashioned to meet their individual surgical needs. You aren’t just a name on a piece of paper to us. Each of our Anesthesiologists are board certified, perioperative specialists with advanced training in regional techniques to ensure you are safe and comfortable throughout your surgical experience.
