For most patients, anesthesia is very safe especially with today’s advanced monitoring and individualized care.

However, safety depends on factors like your age, medical history, medications, and the type of procedure you’re having. Conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, sleep apnea, or obesity may increase risk, which is why a thorough pre-operative evaluation is essential.

Anesthesiologists carefully review your health history, adjust medication choices, and create a personalized anesthesia plan designed to minimize risk and maximize safety.

If you have concerns about anesthesia, discuss them openly with your care team. Your plan is always tailored to you.

FAQ FRIDAY: What If I’m Allergic to Medications?

If you have a medication allergy, it’s important to tell your anesthesia team before surgery including what reaction you experienced and when it happened.

Anesthesiologists carefully review your allergy history and choose medications that are safe for you. True anesthesia allergies are rare, and there are multiple alternative medications available if needed.

Your safety is always the top priority, and your anesthesia plan is customized to your medical history.

Have a history of medication reactions? Be sure to discuss them with your care team so we can plan accordingly and keep you safe.

Anesthesia works by temporarily changing how your body responds to pain and awareness and it can also affect your vital signs.

During surgery, anesthesia may:
• Lower or stabilize blood pressure
• Adjust heart rate
• Slow breathing (which is carefully supported)
• Affect body temperature

These changes are expected and carefully managed. Your anesthesia team continuously monitors your heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, breathing, and temperature in real time making precise adjustments throughout the procedure to keep you safe and stable.

Anesthesia is a controlled medical process, not a passive one. If you have questions about what happens during surgery, speak with your anesthesia team so you feel informed and confident before your procedure.

Vascular surgery requires meticulous coordination and anesthesia plays a critical role in ensuring patient safety and stability throughout the procedure. From managing blood pressure and heart function to closely monitoring circulation and oxygenation, vascular anesthesia is tailored to support patients undergoing carotid surgery, aortic repair, peripheral bypass, and other advanced vascular interventions.

Because many vascular patients have underlying cardiovascular conditions, anesthesia plans are carefully customized to reduce risk and optimize outcomes.

If you’re scheduled for vascular surgery and have questions about anesthesia, speak with us. Understanding your anesthesia plan is an important part of feeling confident and prepared.

FAQ FRIDAY: Why Can’t You Eat Before Surgery?

Before anesthesia, your stomach needs to be empty for safety.

When you’re under anesthesia, your protective reflexes (like coughing and swallowing) are temporarily relaxed. If food or liquid remains in your stomach, there’s a risk it could move into your lungs, a serious complication called aspiration.

That’s why you’re given specific instructions about when to stop eating and drinking before surgery. Following these guidelines helps ensure your procedure is as safe as possible.

Regional anesthesia is a technique that numbs a specific area of the body by blocking pain signals from a group of nerves. Unlike general anesthesia, you may remain awake or lightly sedated while the targeted area is completely pain-free.

Common uses include orthopedic procedures, joint replacements, hand or foot surgery, and certain abdominal or obstetric procedures.

Benefits of regional anesthesia may include:
• Excellent pain control during and after surgery
• Reduced need for opioids
• Lower risk of nausea
• Faster recovery in many cases

Your anesthesia plan is always customized to your procedure and medical history.

While your surgeon focuses on the procedure, a dedicated anesthesiologist is solely responsible for monitoring you the entire time.

An anesthesiologist continuously tracks your:
• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
• Oxygen levels
• Breathing
• Temperature
• Depth of anesthesia

They adjust medications in real time to keep you safe, stable, and comfortable from start to finish.

FAQ FRIDAY: What Happens in the Pre-Op Area?

The pre-operative area is where we make sure everything is ready before your procedure begins.

You’ll check in, change into a gown, and have your vital signs taken. A nurse will review your medical history and medications, and your anesthesiologist will meet with you to discuss your anesthesia plan, answer questions, and ensure you feel comfortable. An IV is typically placed so medications can be given safely during surgery.

This time is focused on safety, preparation, and making sure you feel informed and at ease before heading into the operating room.

Cardiac anesthesia is a specialized area of anesthesiology focused on patients undergoing heart and major vascular procedures, such as coronary artery bypass surgery, valve repair or replacement, and aortic surgery.

Because these operations directly affect the heart and circulation, cardiac anesthesiologists use advanced monitoring techniques to closely track heart function, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and overall stability throughout the procedure.

Cardiac anesthesia requires precise medication management and continuous adjustments to support the heart before, during, and after surgery.

If you’re scheduled for a cardiac procedure and have questions about your anesthesia plan, speak with your care team so you feel informed and prepared.

FAQ Friday: What’s the difference between IV anesthesia and inhaled anesthesia? 🩺

Both IV and inhaled anesthesia are safe and commonly used, and the choice depends on the procedure and the patient.

IV anesthesia
• Delivered through a vein
• Works quickly
• Allows precise dosing adjustments
• Often used for sedation or maintenance of anesthesia

Inhaled anesthesia
• Breathed in as a gas
• Commonly used to maintain general anesthesia
• Easily adjusted during longer procedures
• Often used in combination with IV medications

In many cases, anesthesiologists use both methods together to create the safest and most comfortable experience.
