What Is Monitored Anesthesia Care?
MAC keeps you very drowsy during surgery. You may be awake, but you will likely not remember much. And you won’t feel pain. With MAC, medications are given through an IV line in your arm or hand. A local anesthetic may also be injected around the surgical site to numb it. The anesthesia provider monitors you during the procedure. He or she checks your heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, and blood oxygen level.
