General Anesthesia
- This anesthetic produces unconsciousness so that you will not feel, see, or hear any thing during the procedure. The anesthetic medications are given to you through an intravenous line or as a gas through a mask.
- Intra muscular injection or oral pre-sedation might be necessary separately in some cases with children and special needs patients.
- Insertion of an endo-tracheal tube or a similar breathing device might be needed during the anesthetic.
Sedation
- In this type of anesthesia you will be breathing spontaneously, usually without assistance.
- Level of sedation can be deep or light conscious depending on the amount of anesthesia given and the desired level of sedation.

- This category of anesthesia is often called, Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC).
