Anesthesia Department

Columbus Community Hospital’s anesthesia department is committed to managing pain in new ways.
 
Our nation is currently facing an opioid crisis. Overdose deaths, particularly from prescription drugs and heroin, have reached epidemic levels, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. This makes regional anesthesia and chronic pain management more valuable than ever. That is why Columbus Community Hospital has expanded the services of its anesthesia department. 

Our Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) perform more than a dozen different nerve blocks and also utilize Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) and opioid free anesthesia. As a result, CCH patients are having less postoperative pain and nausea resulting in earlier discharge. 

On top of that, CCH’s anesthesia staff also play a large role in patients’ preadmission process through the SURGE Center. As part of this program, CRNAs work with joint-replacement patients before surgery to discuss anesthetic options and determine if further tests are needed. The goal of this assessment is to create a better rapport with patients and their families. It will also help alleviate patient anxiety about potential procedures. 

Columbus Community Hospital hopes these changes, along with the hard work of our talented staff members, will improve quality of care and produce better outcomes for our patients.
