Dept. of Anesthesiology

What does your Anesthesiologist do during your visit to UNM Health Sciences Center?

• We optimize your preoperative medical status to ensure the safest conditions for surgery.
• We administer a wide variety of medications to ensure unconsciousness, treat pain, and stabilize your vital signs during surgery.
• With medications we adjust your breathing, circulation, temperature, kidney function, and other important bodily functions.
• We provide optimal operating conditions for your surgeon.
• We care for your medical needs and pain control in the early postoperative period.
