- Labor and DeliveryIn regional anesthesia, your anesthesiologist injects near a cluster of nerves to numb the area of your body that requires surgery. You may remain awake, or you may be given a sedative. Either way, you will not see or feel the actual surgery take place. There are several kinds of regional anesthesia. Two of the most frequently used are spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia, produced by injections made with great exactness into the appropriate areas of the back. Both are typically used during childbirth and prostate surgery.

- AutismMy son is 14 years old. He has autism and is nonverbal. He was at the ambulatory surgery center for a dental care procedure. His nurse anesthetist took incredible care and medically managed my son beautifully. When I saw him in recovery, he was relaxed and resting comfortably, thanks to his CRNA’s care.
