About Your Anesthesia
Anesthesia is administered by anesthesiologists, who are specially trained medical physicians, working with nurse anesthetists and technicians.
- Your anesthesiologist is not an employee of PinnacleHealth. This means you will receive a separate bill for your anesthesia service that is not part of your hospital surgery charge.
- Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable anesthetic experience and recovery. Therefore, you will be continuously monitored and cared for while your surgeon operates.
- On the day of surgery, you will be seen by your anesthesiologist and asked to complete a questionnaire about your general health and previous anesthesias, which, along with your laboratory studies, will help plan your anesthetic care.
