The Department of Anesthesiology provides a full range of anesthesia services for inpatient and outpatient procedures. This includes outpatient preoperative assessments, inpatient preoperative assessments, acute and chronic pain management services and both pre- and postoperative critical care. The department is especially recognized for strengths in the subspecialty areas of obstetrical, cardiac and transplant anesthesia, pain medicine and critical care medicine. The pain medicine service performs interventional nerve blocks and administers opioids via indwelling epidural catheters. In critical care, physicians are all board-certified in Critical Care Medicine.
Anesthesiologists provide coverage at all times for both surgical and obstetric patients.
