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.

he pain of the anesthesia injection itself can be minimized by injecting the agent slowly and steadily.[4,5] The addition of 8.4 percent sodium bicarbonate to the lidocaine (ratio: 1:10) appears to decrease the burning sensation during infusion, presumably by raising the pH.[4] The correct angle for a subdermal injection is 30 degrees, which will smoothly raise the lesion from the skin[2] (Figure 1). If the injection is too deep, the lidocaine will diffuse into the fat, and a wheel of anesthesia will not form.
