Anesthesia:
We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. We do NOT rely on one stock anesthetic protocol, but tailor our anesthesia to each and every patient as the situation mandates. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures. We closely monitor heart rate and rhythm, respiratory rate and rhythm, blood oxygenation, core body temperature, and in needed cases, blood pressures.
