Anesthesia and Pain control for Surgical Patients, Women in Labor and Children

At Iranian Hospital, we want to make your stay as comfortable and pain-free as possible.



Anesthesia involves loss of feeling and involves loss of consciousness if it is general Anesthesia.

Analgesia blocks the pain, but does not necessary involve loss of consciousness.

Sedation makes you relaxed and drowsy, but not unconscious. You may or may not fall asleep while sedated. Sedation can be mild, moderate or deep, depending on the need. Patients who are deeply sedated do not remember any memory and are not awake.

(Intravenous)IV medications are delivered directly into the vein through a thin plastic catheter or tube.

Here are the most commonly used types of pain relief:

  • General Anesthesia: Temporarily makes you unconscious so that you do not feel any pain with either inhaled or IV agents or combination of them can be used for all operations.
  • Regional Anesthesia: Blocks pain signals from the part of the body where the procedure is being performed.This techniques can only be used for certain regions, parts, the lower body or an arm, for instance.
  • Monitored Anesthesia Care with Sedation: A local anesthetic is administered, blocking pain or discomfort to a small area. At the same time, your anesthesia provider monitors you closely while giving you potent sedatives, narcotic pain medicines, and other medications as needed for your care, to prevent anxiety, and to make you comfortable.
