The site features an Anesthesia & Me Checklist, designed to be carried in a patient’s wallet and details a patient’s medical history, allergies and current medications among other items important for proper anesthesia care in case of surgery.
Other features include other anesthesia-related tools, including information on the different types of anesthesia and the associated risks; details on expectations before and after surgery; information on relevant medical specialties, such as obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatric medicine and acute, chronic and cancer pain medicine; and real-life patient stories.
