Office-based anesthesia (OBA) is a form of ambulatory anesthesia that has experienced exponential growth over the last two decades and is currently the fastest growing subspecialty of anesthesiology in the United States. With the advent of smaller, mobile monitoring devices and refined anesthetic techniques, select surgical procedures can be performed in the comfort and convenience of your office. Depending on the type of surgery, anesthesiologists from Mobile Anesthesia Care (MAC) tailor their anesthesia services to meet the needs of your patients.
