At Montgomery Hospital, anesthesia care is provided by an anesthesiologist, a physician who specializes in anesthesia, or by a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), under the direct supervision of an anesthesiologist. Anesthesia care is available for procedures on either a routine or an emergency basis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All anesthesia care is tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient so that he or she is comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. After major operations, specialized pain relief therapies are available for optimum postoperative pain management.
Anesthesiologists are also available 24 hours a day to provide labor pain relief for women in the Maternal and Child Care Center. Here epidural analgesia is used to minimize the pain of labor.
