Instructions for Patients Receiving Anesthesia
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. If you are scheduled to undergo a procedure with sedation or general anesthesia, please read the following instructions carefully. Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth and successful treatment experience.
Medications
- Take only the medications approved by our office or your physician with a small sip of water.
- If you take medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, or another medical condition, please discuss this with us in advance.
- If you’re on blood thinners (such as aspirin, Plavix, or Coumadin), make sure we’ve given specific instructions regarding when or if to stop them.
Illness or Changes in Health
If you develop a cold, sore throat, fever, or upset stomach within 48 hours of your appointment—or if there’s any change in your health or medications—please contact our office. We may need to reschedule your procedure for your safety.
Questions or Concerns?
If you have any questions about your medications, medical history, or the anesthesia process, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. We’re here to help you feel fully informed and comfortable before your procedure.
