About Us
The VA Anesthesiology Service Line provides care for approximately 5,000 operating room cases per year encompassing all surgical specialties with the exceptions of obstetrics and pediatrics. 70% of our patients are ASA 3 or 4.
Care is also provided for GI endoscopy, cardiology procedures (lariat procedures), and interventional radiology outside the operating room suite. A neurosurgical service is currently in development. Residents typically rotate as an elective rotation during the CA-3 year.
The anesthesiology service line has also developed a robust multidisciplinary chronic pain division and provides complex interventional pain procedures, a High-Risk Opioid Clinic, and access to integrative medicine modalities. One fellow rotates through the VA each month as part of the Emory Multidisciplinary Pain Fellowship.
