Public Information & Patient Resources Center

Before having anesthesia for surgery, childbirth, pain management, or any other procedure, the AANA advises patients to learn as much as they can about their anesthesia options; the do's and don’ts before and after anesthesia; how other medications interact with anesthetic drugs; possible side effects of anesthesia, and more. 

By educating yourself as much as possible, you will become an informed “partner” in your own anesthesia care.  Check our RESOURCES tab for more information.
