Anesthesia
Prioritizing your comfort during medical procedures and childbirth.
Care You Can Trust
Types of Anesthesia
We strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible, which can sometimes mean utilizing anesthesia. With a focus on the latest advancements and evidence-based techniques, we deliver compassionate care, addressing patient concerns throughout your surgical or procedural experience.
General Anesthesia
We expertly perform complete surgical anesthesia using a variety of techniques including inhaled anesthetics and total intravenous anesthesia.
Our team administers single-shot spinal anesthesia causing complete blockade of sensation to the lower extremities and continuous epidural anesthesia to alleviate labor pain and surgical pain.
Deep Sedation/Monitored Anesthesia Care
Our providers can provide a spectrum of sedation from light to very deep sedation using medications tailored to the individual patient and their surgical needs.
Acute Pain Management/Regional Anesthesia
Columbia Anesthesia specializes in preventing and treating pain associated with surgery and labor through the use of regional anesthesia, also known as blocks, and medications for pain management. The use of blocks can isolate the area where pain is expected and more effectively treat post-surgical pain.

Anesthesia Options During Labor & Delivery
We offer a variety of pain management and anesthesia options to laboring mothers, with the goal of making the birthing experience as comfortable as possible.
Epidural
An epidural is an injection in the lower back to numb part of the body to pain and can be used for either vaginal or cesarean delivery. Expectant mothers who receive epidurals remain awake, alert, and more comfortable than if they hadn’t chosen an epidural. However, they might still be aware of contractions and feel vaginal exams as labor progresses.
Spinal Block
Like an epidural block, a spinal block is a form of regional anesthesia. It’s commonly used for cesarean delivery and involves a single shot of medication into the fluid around the spinal cord. A spinal block relieves pain quickly but lasts only a few hours.
