Anesthesia
Our Anesthesia Department provides consultations for those women who need it, in conjunction with the high-risk obstetrical units.
Any family physician, midwife, or obstetrician who practices obstetrics at TOH can ask for an Anesthesia consult; the patient does not necessarily have to be high risk.
Some women have several questions about how we can help them with the pain of labour, or have had a previous bad experience in labour, and this is reason enough to ask for a referral. Other women have quite extensive medical histories and need our close involvement with the rest of the obstetrical team in order to keep both mom and baby safe during delivery – we do a lot a planning as a team for these cases.
You must be referred by a physician, nurse practitioner or midwife. They must include the antenatal forms and pertinent test results.
