a notE aBout hErBal usagE

• Tell your physician and all health care providers what

herbal supplements you are taking.

• Stop taking herbal medications 1 week before your

scheduled procedure/surgery or at least at the time of

the telephone interview.

ChildrEn

In order to devote attention to the patient, we request

that you do not bring children with you the day of your

procedure/surgery. The setting of the Surgery Center and

the time spent waiting can be stressful for children. We

encourage you to make child care arrangements rather

than bring the children with you.

intErprEtEr sErviCEs

Madison Surgery Center is willing and can provide a

professional medical interpreter at no cost to you. It is

important for your health care to receive the services of

a qualified professional interpreter.

rEsponsiBlE adult

Please arrange for someone to drive you to and from the

Surgery Center. You cannot drive for the rest of the day

after your procedure/surgery. Do not plan any activities

for the rest of the day following the procedure/surgery

so you may rest. To protect your privacy, the person

accompanying you to your procedure/surgery should

be someone with whom the physician can discuss your

health and results of the procedure/surgery. You will

need to arrange for a responsible adult to assist with

the following:

• Drive you to and from the Surgery Center

(Do not use a cab or bus)

• Be present throughout your stay at the Surgery Center

• Provide care for you for 24 hours or more after the

procedure/surgery

For these reasons, please have your driver come with

you the Surgery Center and stay until you are discharged.

Due to limited waiting room space, it is suggested to have

only one person accompany you. We discourage leaving

pets in the vehicle during your stay at the Surgery Center.

Your proCEdurE/surgErY

Please come directly to the Surgery Center Reception

Desk on the 3rd floor to check in for your procedure/

surgery. You do not need to stop to register before

entering the Surgery Center.

A nurse will prepare you before your procedure/surgery

and explain what to expect during your stay. Your

physician, one of their assistants and an anesthesiologist

(if applicable) will visit you in the pre-op area before you

are taken to the procedure or operating room.

After your procedure/surgery, the physician may speak

with your family/friend, informing them of the outcome

of the procedure/surgery. You will be taken to our

recovery area where you will be reunited with your

family/ friend. They will be involved in your post-op

education, facilitating safe and efficient discharge from

our facility.

going hoME

You will be evaluated prior to discharge to determine

that you are ready to leave the Surgery Center. You will

be discharged once you and your family/friend have

been given written home care instructions with your

your procEdurE/surgEry: what to ExpEct

“ Everyone expressed genuine

concern and care for my child which

helped ease my nerves as a parent.”

6 7

Your proCEdurE

In the preoperative area you will have the opportunity

to meet with the specific anesthesiologist who will take

care of you. He or she will talk about various aspects of

the anesthetic management and answer your questions.

Nurses will record your vital signs (temperature, blood

pressure, heart rate, etc), and go over your pre-admission

interview. You will have an intravenous catheter (IV)

placed in a vein of the hand or arm after numbing

the skin with local anesthetic. This IV will be used to

administer various medications.

In the operating room a member of the anesthesia team

will ALWAYS be there, maintaining contact with you, and

attending to your needs.

aftEr thE opEration

After the surgery is finished, you will be taken to a

recovery area where most of the anesthetic effects will

wear off. In the recovery area, specially trained nurses

will continue to monitor you and attend to your needs.

Be assured that pain medications will be available to

help ease discomfort. You should realize, however, that

surgery and anesthesia will not leave you feeling normal.

Depending on the surgery and its length, you may feel

like just resting in bed.

You will be going home the same day after a few hours—

assuming pain, dizziness, nausea or issues related to the

surgery are controlled. Side effects like pain, nausea and

dizziness usually decline rapidly in the hours following

surgery, but it may take several days before they are gone

completely. The majority of patients do not feel up to

their typical activities the next day, usually due to general

tiredness or surgical discomfort. Plan to take it easy for

a few days until you feel back to normal. Know that a

period of recovery at home is common and to

be expected.

If the procedure is not quick and simple AND you live

more than 2 hours away, we recommend that you make

arrangements to stay in the Madison area overnight.

This will be much more comfortable for you than a

long automobile ride. You should not drive for about

24 hours after anesthesia (or while taking narcotic pain

relief medicine) to ensure full recovery of your senses

and judgment. You should also not drink any alcoholic

beverages, or use non-prescription medications for 24

hours after your anesthesia.

tYpEs of anEsthEsia

There are several ways in which pain and discomfort can

be prevented or greatly reduced during your proposed

surgery or procedure. Which type is best for you? This

decision will be made jointly by you, your anesthesiologist

and your surgeon. You should consider the advantages

and disadvantages for each type as they apply to you, as

well as our recommendations, before making a choice.

Monitored Anesthesia

This means that a local anesthetic is injected directly

into the area where the operation is to take place. This

produces a localized area of numbness. The anesthesia

team provides an appropriate and safe level of sedation

and supplemental pain relief with medications injected

through your IV. They also monitor (among other things)

your breathing and blood pressure, and treat any changes

in your body’s functions. They are also there to administer

general anesthesia if needed.

Monitored Anesthesia Pros

• Often the quickest recovery

• Often the simplest anesthetic

• May be safer than other anesthesia types for

certain procedures and patients

Monitored Anesthesia Cons

• May not be suitable for long procedures or

some surgeries

In order for you to be as safe and comfortable as possible

during your procedure, your surgeon has requested

that an anesthesiologist be involved in your care. An

anesthesiologist is a doctor who has specialized training

and knowledge in providing anesthesia and pain relief,

as well as maintaining vital life functions including blood

pressure and breathing. This anesthesia doctor often

directs Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Anesthesia

Assistants, or physicians training in anesthesia. This

“anesthesia care team,” as well as our nursing staff, will

provide you with the safest and most efficient

care possible.

What is anEsthEsia?

Anesthesia is a condition of having little or no sensation;

the word may also refer to any of the medications or

methods used to produce this condition. Also, anesthesia

may be associated with “amnesia” – meaning no memory

of the events surrounding surgery, and unconsciousness.

You will meet your anesthesiologist prior to your

procedure to discuss the anesthetic method that will be

used for your procedure. If you have particular concerns,

you should discuss them with the anesthesiologist or

nursing staff at this time.

BEforE Your surgErY

It is very important that you follow the directions

regarding when you should stop eating solid foods and

when you should stop drinking clear liquids. Clear

liquids mean water and apple juice. DO NOT EAT on the

day of your surgery, unless you have been told otherwise

by MSC staff or your surgeon.

If you do not follow the eating and drinking instructions

faithfully, your stomach may not be empty. Losing

respiratory protective reflexes during anesthesia could

increase your risk of getting stomach contents into your

lungs – a potentially dangerous situation.

If you do not follow the eating/drinking directions

you were given, it could mean your procedure will be

cancelled or postponed for your own protection.

You should take medicine that you are told to take (with

a small amount of water) on the morning of surgery.

These usually are medicines for any heart, blood pressure,

breathing, or stomach conditions. Please be sure you ask

if you have any question about taking your medications

on the morning of surgery.

anEsthEsia for ambulatory surgEry

8 9

Examples of risks of general or regional anesthesia

(nerve block) include:

Equipment complications, bruises and abrasions,

infection, eye problems, tooth damage, lip cuts, sore

throat, hoarseness, nausea and/or vomiting, inhaling

stomach contents, headache, backache, inability to

urinate, reactions to local anesthetics, problems with

blood loss, high or low blood pressure, rapid or slow

heartbeat, angina (heart pain), heart attack, heart failure,

cough, wheezing, lack of oxygen, dizziness, weakness,

stroke, brain damage, nerve or spinal cord damage

(including paralysis), experiencing pain, being aware

under anesthesia, coma, or even death. Allergic reactions

(minor or serious) to medications or other substances can

occur. Birth defects or miscarriages in pregnant patients

can occur.

Remembering others talking or sounds while you are

asleep under general anesthesia is very rare, but can

occur. Remembering some talking or sounds while

having only monitored anesthesia/regional anesthesia

is a common and expected occurrence.

If this list seems overwhelming, please be reassured that

for most non-emergency surgery, the risk is very low for

any of the serious problems mentioned above. Talk to us

about any concerns you may have.

General Anesthesia

This is a process that includes administering many types

of both IV medications and inhaled gases to produce

a state where the patient is unconscious, feels no

discomfort and lies still on the operating room bed.

General Anesthesia Pros

• Often the most appropriate technique for extensive,

prolonged operations

General Anesthesia Cons

• “Minor” problems can occur: tooth damage, sore

throat, sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, etc.

• “Major” problems are uncommon, but severe heart and

lung problems can occur (see “Risks of anesthesia”).

Your risk increases if you are very young or very old,

or if you have pre-existing medical conditions.

Regional Anesthesia

This type of anesthesia produces numbness and loss

of movement localized to small or large portions of the

arms, legs, or abdomen – depending on the type of nerve

“block” performed. Pain relief is achieved by injecting

local anesthetics (and sometimes certain narcotics) in

veins or around nerves, or near the spinal cord in the

back. Although this may sound like an intimidating

process, we do these injections quite often, and it may be

the preferred technique for some procedures and some

patients with significant heart or lung problems. Many

blocks are performed using ultrasound guidance.

Regional Anesthesia Pros:

• Fewer minor side effects than with general anesthesia

regarding dizziness, sore throat or teeth issues

• Fewer very serious side effects than with general

anesthesia, for example breathing in stomach contents,

wide variations in pulse rate and blood pressure

• May have a faster outpatient discharge than with

general anesthesia

Regional Anesthesia Cons:

• Certain regional blocks are not 100 percent effective,

and supplemental IV or general anesthesia could be

required.

• Serious side effects (infection, bleeding, and even

nerve damage) are possible, although rare.

Combinations of Regional and General Anesthesia

In certain circumstances, a combination of a regional

anesthetic and a general anesthetic may be appropriate.

One example would be when regional anesthesia alone

would not be suitable for a particular surgery, but when

combined with a low dose of general anesthetic, provides

good anesthesia conditions, and also can result in faster

awakening and longer pain relief postoperatively.

Local Anesthesia

The surgeon will inject local anesthetic to provide

numbness at the surgical site. In this case there may be

no anesthesia team member with you, but you will have

a nurse specially trained in providing surgeon-directed

sedation monitoring your basic bodily functions.

risks assoCiatEd With anEsthEsia

Patients and their families often have questions about the

“safety” of anesthesia. We want you to understand that it

is difficult to completely separate the risk of surgery from

that of the anesthetic. There are specific risks related to

the surgical procedure; these will be discussed with you

by the surgical doctor. Risks related to the anesthetic, on

the other hand are more appropriately discussed by your

anesthesia doctor. Our aim is to fully inform you, but not

needlessly worry you. Most people who are healthy, aside

from the reason they are having surgery, have a low risk,

but since anesthetics are powerful medications there is

no such thing as “zero” risk. If you have other medical

problems, it may increase the overall risk, but this varies

for every patient.
