  • What would cause someone to not wake up from anesthesia?

    The causes of delayed emergence are vast. Fortunately, with the advent of short-acting anesthetics, it is extraordinarily rare for someone not to wake up due to anesthesia. READ MORE

  • How is a nerve block done for hand surgery?

    Nerve block for hand surgery is usually done under ultrasound guidance and carries a low risk for complications. Benefits of nerve block are: less post-op pain, less narcotic use (leading to quicker recovery and less nausea), and more blood pressure stability. I would absolutely recommend nerve block for a family member of mine unless there was an absolute contraindication such as coagulopathy, pre-existing nerve damage, or patient refusal. Nerve block for outpatient hand surgery has become standard of care. If I was having hand surgery, I would absolutely ask for a nerve block. READ MORE

Get to know Anesthesiologist Dr. C. Christopher Wesley, who serves patients in New Jersey.

Dr. Wesley has been an attending anesthesiologist at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey since July of 2010. He is also affiliated with Pascack Valley Medical Center.

Founded in 1888 with just 12 beds, Hackensack University Medical Center was Bergen County’s first hospital. Today, this nonprofit teaching and research hospital has grown to become the largest provider of inpatient and outpatient services in New Jersey. In fact, it is Bergen County’s hub of health care for the Northern New Jersey and New York metropolitan areas.

A part of Hackensack Meridian Health, Pascack Valley Medical Center is a full-service boutique hospital located in Westwood, New Jersey, at the site of the former Pascack Valley Hospital. The world-class, 128-bed community hospital offers all the resources of a large facility with more personalized care for each patient.

In regards to his educational background, Dr. Wesley graduated with his Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies from the University of Delaware in 2000. He then went on to earn his medical degree from the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in 2005, after which he performed his internship in internal medicine at Lankenau Hospital in 2007. This was followed by a residency in anesthesiology at Jefferson University Hospital in 2010.

Specializing in perioperative patient care, the doctor is board-certified in anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). As the certifying body for anesthesiologists since 1938, the ABA is committed to partnering with physicians to advance lifelong learning and exceptional patient care. Its mission is to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology. 

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.
