• 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.

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.
