ANESTHESIA

Several methods of anesthesia are available. The method of anesthesia that is chosen for or by a patient depends upon the nature of the surgical procedure and the patient’s level of apprehension. The following table illustrates the choices of anesthesia, a description of the anesthetic technique, and the usual indications for that technique. Any patient can choose to have Total IV Anesthesia.

At the consultation appointment, Dr. John will evaluate your medical status and airway to see if you are a candidate for IV Anesthesia.
