Anesthesia drugs in the obstetric and gynecologic practice.
The obstetrician-gynecologist is often solely responsible for analgesia/sedation and regional blocks during office-based and outpatient procedures. The American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines for the provision of analgesia/sedation for nonanesthesiologists provide helpful recommendations to maximize patient safety during office-based and outpatient procedures. This article provides a review of the fundamentals of sedation/analgesia, monitored anesthesia care, and local anesthetics.
