Preparing for anesthesia doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Your provider and the Professional Intubation team will guide you through every step so you feel informed, confident, and ready.
A few simple steps help ensure your procedure goes smoothly:
You may be asked to avoid food and liquids for a specific period before your appointment. Your exact fasting timeline will be provided in advance.
Bring a complete list of prescriptions, supplements, and over‑the‑counter medications. Do not stop taking medications unless directed by your physician.
Because anesthesia can cause drowsiness, a responsible adult must accompany you to and from your appointment.
Loose, short‑sleeve clothing allows easier placement of monitoring equipment and IV lines.
When you arrive at the office:
Health information and consent forms are verified.
Vital signs are reviewed and final safety checks completed.
Sedation is administered by your anesthesiologist.
Oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are monitored throughout.
You remain in recovery until fully awake and safe to leave with your companion.
Your comfort and safety remain the priority at every stage.
Recovery is typically smooth, but following these guidelines is important:
If you have questions about fasting, medications, or recovery, contact your provider or the Professional Intubation team. We’re here to help you prepare with clarity and confidence.
