At Water's Edge Surgery Center, patients are afforded the highest level of safety, comfort and cutting edge
technology.
Our anesthesia
department consists of a Board Certified Anesthesiologist and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. They contact each
patient prior to surgery to review medical history and address any special needs or concerns. When patients arrive for surgery, they are greeted by one of our highly skilled nurses, who keep them comfortable
and relaxed throughout the pre-operative process. Dr. Cooper then sees his patients
for a final consultation prior to surgery, answering last minute questions and explaining post-operative expectations.
While in our immaculate operating rooms, safety is the number one priority of every
member of the surgical team. We use special warming blankets and even warm the IV fluids to keep patients at a safe
and comfortable temperature. Dr. Cooper uses the most current, FDA approved anesthesia and research-based equipment,
making Water's Edge Surgery Center an exceptional facility.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
CEREBRAL STATE MONITOR (CSM)
The CSM provides up-to-date monitoring of consciousness
during sedation. While other surgery center monitors give a reading that is minutes old, Water's Edge Surgery Center
utilizes the CSM, which sets a new standard for EEG monitoring by giving real time data. This data is also interpreted
by an Index that indicates an optimal target for anesthesia.
TRANSCUTANEOUS
CO2 MONITOR
This advanced monitor is the only one of its kind trusted by neonatal units, and is also used at Water's
Edge Surgery Center. A small, circular pad is placed on the forearm and measures a patient's carbon dioxide levels while
sedated, ensuring adequate ventilation throughout surgery. This constant monitoring allows for immediate response to
changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
