Epidural Anesthesia

 


The following are useful sites for Patients and those having general questions about Anesthesiology.

 For patients who are facing a surgical procedure, it is often hard to know what to expect or even what to ask about the necessary anesthesia.  Despite the advanced technology and new drugs offered by 21st century anesthetic practices, changes in consciousness and adequacy of pain control remain important issues for patients and their families.  The following sites are independent of Tejas, but answer many of the questions individuals have.

Anesthesiology Info

This site provides timely, factual and useful information about anesthesiology.  Patients can find answers to their questions and information about anesthesiology.  Patients can also gain more insight into the options available to them when they face the need for surgery and anesthesia.  Hosted by Paul H. Ting, M.D.


 American Society of Anesthesiologists

This site has been developed as an educational public service by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the national organization for anesthesia professionals.  It gives the patient a guide though the anesthesia process, as well as answers questions about how anesthesia works and what patients can expect.

  • What do anesthesiologists do?
