Anesthesia Care for Trauma
As part of your critical care after trauma, your anesthesiologist will monitor your condition carefully and provide ongoing medical assessment in response to changes in your condition.
Anesthesia services include:
- Advanced life support
- Airway management
- Cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
- Pain control
- Preparation for emergency surgery
- Blood transfusions and monitor of vital signs during surgery
In some cases, you may need continuous pain medicine or sedation in order to deal with your pain. Your anesthesiologist will maintain the best balance between reducing the pain and keeping your vital signs stable. You may also receive respiratory support to help you breathe and cardiovascular support to maintain a good heart rate and rhythm.
