Anesthesia November 2003 |
|
Many patients considering elective surgery are not only asking questions about the surgeon's background but, they want to know about the anesthesia. One of the most important aspects on having a safe surgery is having a qualified anesthesiologist. To
provide the best patient safety Dr. Corbin prefers to use
Medical Doctors to administer anesthesia to his patients.
Some surgeons use Nurse Anesthetists. Dr. Corbin's reasons
for using M.D.s to put his patients to sleep or provide sedation
for surgery is simple: they have more training. The three most commonly used anesthesia groups are: General Anesthetic, Local Anesthetic, or Sedation with Local Anesthetic (MAC).
With
modern technology, new drugs, improved anesthesia equipment
and specialist anesthesiologists who undergo many years of
schooling and training anesthesia is a safe and comfortable
way to have surgery. |
