Anesthesia Care

At Christus Southern New Mexico, we provide our patients with safe and comfortable anesthesia, administered by the best Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Having received years of specialized training, CRNAs have provided service to the Southern New Mexico area for several decades and our group of CRNAs come with over 75 years of combined experience!

In the pre-operative area, prior to your surgery, the CRNA will come discuss the plan for your anesthetic. They will review your health history and discuss the anesthesia methods that are appropriate for your procedure and answer any questions that you have.

Several links are provided below for additional information on ambulatory anesthesia, children and anesthesia, seniors and anesthesia, anesthesia and herbal supplements. The information contained through these links is in general terms and is not sponsored by SNMSC. You are encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns with your physician or anesthesia provider on the day of the procedure.

Anesthesia is a bill separate from SNMSC. If you have any balance that was not paid by your insurance, you can expect to receive a bill for any anesthesia related charges.
