Operating Room & Surgery Center Anesthesia

Anesthesia coverage for hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers, with defined responsibilities from induction through recovery.

About this service

Operating room cases range from elective ambulatory procedures to longer, more complex surgery. Coverage is available for hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers, with defined anesthesia responsibilities from induction through recovery.

Care begins with a structured preanesthesia evaluation and an anesthetic plan matched to the procedure and the patient. It continues with monitoring and airway support planned according to the anesthetic technique, the patient's needs and applicable standards, and ends with defined recovery and discharge criteria.

Coverage arrangements specify anesthesia responsibilities, handoffs and recovery oversight, so the surgical team knows exactly how each case will be covered before it is scheduled.

Questions patients ask

Can Dr. Seitz provide anesthesia at our office or surgery center?
Yes. Dr. Seitz has experience providing anesthesia care in office-based and ambulatory settings across a variety of specialties and procedures. Practices without an in-house anesthesia team can arrange on-site coverage directly with Dr. Seitz, bringing physician-level anesthesia care to the office or surgery center where the procedure is performed, under the standards applicable to that setting.
