FAQs
The nursing staff that calls you for the pre-operative information will review your medications and inform you which ones to take the morning of the procedure (with a small sip of water). Nursing works collaboratively with anesthesia to advise you on which medications you may take.
Depending on what procedure you will be having, you may need to arrive an hour earlier than your injection and up to two hours earlier than your appointment time for any type of implant. The reason is that an antibiotic must be given in the pre-op area. Once you have been to the operating room for your procedure and admitted into the Recovery Room, you will stay as long as necessary for your vital signs to be stable, pain and nausea are managed if you have any and you meet discharge criteria. Some patients awaken quick and others are slower to awaken. Most patients stay approximately 30 minutes to an hour depending on procedure type.
Since you will be getting sedation from an anesthesia provider, a responsible adult must drive you to the facility, sign for discharge instructions, and drive you home. The driver should make sure you arrive home safely, get you situated with food, drink, medications, etc. It is recommended that someone be available and with you for 24 hours.
Once your chart is assembled, the nursing staff will call you to obtain your health history and a list of your medications. Once closer to your procedure date, the business office will call you with the time of your procedure and review the authorization and any payment that may need to be made.
