The Department of Anesthesiology at University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute consists of board certified or board eligible physician anesthesiologists who all have special interests in the field of Regional Anesthesia. To that end, we employ the latest regional techniques to ensure optimal intra-operative and post-operative pain control.
For example, we offer single-shot and continuous nerve blocks for total shoulder replacement, total elbow replacement, hand surgery, total hip replacement, total knee replacement and ACL reconstruction. We offer a 24-hour-per-day acute pain service for our inpatients to ensure continuity of care throughout their hospital stay.
Furthermore, we offer pre-operative anesthesia consultations to our scheduled patients to help educate them on the various alternatives available for intra-operative and post-operative pain control. Should any of our patients have any questions, we encourage them to call and schedule a consultation.
