2 types of anesthesia care -- see msg.

Subject: 2 types of anesthesia care -- see msg.

Local and MAC (monitored anesthesia care) are 2 types of anesthesia, so probably "Local/MAC" would be best. However, I don't think I have ever been dinged on QA for typing "Local MAC" with a space.

Here is a link to an article on anesthesia types.

Have a great day.
