14 Bringing health care news to your home If you’re going to have surgery, anesthesia is a must. And if you’re having a baby, you might choose to receive anesthesia to lessen the pain of childbirth. Anesthesia care is a crucial service at every health care facility, and Columbus Community Hospital is no exception. Our full-time certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) most often provide care in our operating rooms. But they also offer anesthesia elsewhere as needed, including in the emergency room and in the labor and delivery unit for cesarean sections or labor pain management. Here’s more information about how they work to ensure you have a safe and comfortable experience. Anesthesia tailored to your needs The type of anesthesia you need before a procedure depends on various factors. “We don’t do cookie-cutter anesthesia,” said Jon Brunott, DNAP, CRNA, director of anesthesia at CCH. “We’re going to tailor your anesthesia to give you the best and safest care.” To personalize medical pain management, team members review each patient’s chart and health history ahead of time and use evidence-based research to guide their choices. “We interview the patient — talk with them, give them our plan and answer their questions,” Brunott said.
