FAQs

• Is anesthesia safe? Modern anesthesia is very safe. We conduct detailed preoperative assessments and use continuous monitoring to minimize risk.
• Can I eat or drink before anesthesia? You will receive fasting instructions, typically no solid food for 6–8 hours and clear liquids allowed up to a specified cutoff before surgery.
• Will I meet the anesthesiologist before surgery? Yes. Your anesthesiologist reviews your history, explains options, and finalizes the plan with you.
• How is pain controlled after surgery? We use multimodal analgesia, regional blocks, and patient-controlled analgesia when appropriate.
• Is an epidural safe during labor? Epidurals are commonly used and generally safe; your anesthesiologist will discuss benefits and risks based on your health and birth plan.
• How soon can I go home after day-care anesthesia? Many patients are discharged the same day once fully awake, comfortable, and meeting safety criteria.
