💉 The epidural space is a small but powerful part of your anatomy. It’s the area that lies just outside the spinal cord’s protective covering, filled with fat, blood vessels, and tiny nerve roots. When anesthesiologists place an epidural, medication is delivered into this space to block pain signals before they reach the brain.

This is why epidurals are so effective for labor pain and certain surgeries, they provide targeted relief while allowing patients to stay awake and alert.

🤰 Labor and delivery can sometimes bring unexpected challenges, and that’s when the expertise of an anesthesiologist matters most. Obstetric anesthesia emergencies, like high spinal blocks, severe bleeding, or rare allergic reactions, require rapid recognition and immediate action to protect both mother and baby.

🧠 The cerebellum is the part of your brain that helps control balance, coordination, and movement. Under anesthesia, the cerebellum’s activity slows, along with the rest of the nervous system. This is one reason why patients may feel unsteady, groggy, or less coordinated when they first wake up after surgery.

Your anesthesiologist carefully manages this process, ensuring the brain and body return to normal function safely as the medications wear off. What feels like “just being sleepy” is actually your nervous system gradually rebalancing.

Not every procedure requires “going all the way under.” With Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC), patients receive tailored sedation, from light relaxation to deeper sleep, while still breathing on their own. Your anesthesiologist stays by your side the entire time, adjusting medications to keep you comfortable and safe.

MAC is often used for procedures like colonoscopies, eye surgery, or minor outpatient operations, offering the benefits of comfort, safety, and a quicker recovery compared to general anesthesia.

When you’re under general anesthesia, it’s not just your brain that rests, your whole body slows down, including your circulation. Anesthetics can cause blood vessels to relax and widen, which lowers blood pressure. They may also shift how blood is distributed, sometimes reducing flow to certain areas while maintaining it in vital organs.

That’s why anesthesiologists are always closely monitoring your heart, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, making real-time adjustments to keep blood flow stable and your body safe throughout the procedure.

Many patients ask about the difference between IV sedation and general anesthesia. While both keep you comfortable during a procedure, they work in very different ways.

With IV sedation, you’re relaxed and may even drift in and out of light sleep, but you’re still able to breathe on your own. General anesthesia, on the other hand, puts you into a fully unconscious state, your anesthesiologist carefully manages your breathing, vital signs, and comfort from start to finish.

At G2 Anesthesia, our role is to choose the safest, most effective option for you based on your health and the type of procedure.
