When patients need anesthesia, I interview them to learn their medical history. Then I obtain their consent and signature. Before surgery, I develop an anesthetic plan. During the procedure, I administer the anesthetics and fluids to sedate the patient properly. As patients recover from anesthesia, I administer medications, fluids, or oxygen to provide relief from pain and to prevent complications. I also provide follow-up care to manage any side effects or complications from anesthesia.
