Types of Anesthesiology at Cape Fear Valley Health
Our Anesthesiology department is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and safety during surgical procedures. Our expert team uses advanced anesthesia techniques tailored to your specific needs.
We offer three main types of anesthesia:
- Local anesthesia numbs a small area for minor surgeries, like those on the hand or foot.
- Regional anesthesia numbs a larger part of your body and is often used during childbirth and prostate surgery.
- General anesthesia makes you completely unconscious; it’s typically used for major surgeries.
Our anesthesiology providers are highly trained specialists. They work closely with surgeons and nurses to provide seamless care. Before your surgery, they will discuss your anesthesia plan and answer any questions you may have.
During surgery, our anesthesiologists monitor your vital signs closely. They use sophisticated equipment to confirm your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are stable. This careful monitoring helps to prevent any complications.
After surgery, our team helps you recover smoothly. They manage your pain and ensure you wake up comfortably. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible care from start to finish.
