Sedation/Managed Anesthesia Care

Managed Anesthesia Care (MAC), otherwise known as “twilight” anesthesia, encompasses a wide continuum of sedation. It differs from general anesthesia in that no breathing apparatus is typically required, and a patient may be awakened through stimulation.

This form of anesthesia is administered through an intravenous line and is most often used for colonoscopies/endoscopies, cataract surgery, biopsies, and other less invasive procedures.
