    Acute Pain Management

    We are proud of our accomplishments in acute pain management after surgery. We were the first group in North Florida to begin using a local anesthetic that can last up to three days for nerve blocks. We continue to expand the use of long-acting nerve blocks to better manage pain and limit opioid needs.

    We specialize in placing epidural catheters and peripheral nerve catheters, two techniques that provide a continuous local anesthetic to nerves. These approaches are beneficial because patients experience fewer side effects from large doses of opioids and better pain control.

    Anesthesia

    We provide preoperative instructions before your procedure, no matter what your condition. We are attentive to pain control after surgery, and we utilize a combination of oral and intravenous medications. We may use nerve blocks for increased comfort, and we have treatments for nausea and vomiting. An anesthesiologist will be available to you to discuss questions or concerns you have after you leave our facility.

    Intraoperative Echocardiography

    Our practice provides intraoperative echocardiography services for all cardiac operations at Flagler Hospital. This technique allows our staff to show cardiac surgeons the extent of disease in the heart and major blood vessels. In some cases, echocardiography can be used to diagnose previously unrecognized disease. Surgeons experience more successful outcomes in surgery because of the imaging provided by echocardiography.
