Our anaesthesiology department is involved in at least 2000 surgical procedures every year. We offer a full suite of pre-operative services such as assessments and postoperative care for various surgeries. Besides providing anaesthesia for operating room procedures, we specialise in anaesthetic care for radiology, obstetrics, and artificial reproductive therapy.
Our pain-care solutions are tailored to each patient's individual needs. They are non-surgical, simple, and economically-priced procedures that require minimal stay at the hospital.
We aim to relieve pain throughout and after the surgery to prevent complications and keep you comfortable.
Our expert anaesthetists follow four types of procedures to administer anaesthesia. However, they will determine the type of anaesthesia after assessing the patient's health status and the surgical procedure.
Generally, anaesthesia is safe when experienced specialists handle it. However, patients undergoing major surgeries are at risk of postoperative confusion, pneumonia, heart attack, and stroke. Some of the following factors can also put patients at risk during surgeries:
Before going in for any surgical procedure, patients should:
The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sore throat, and grogginess. You can also consult with our anaesthesiologist if you have any doubts regarding the after-effects.
General anaesthesia is administered through an intravenous line or a gas mask. Once the patient is unconscious, the anaesthesiologist will insert a tube into the patient's throat to deliver oxygen to the lungs. The patients will be provided muscle relaxants before surgery to relax the muscles in the neck. Besides, the anaesthesiologist will also adjust the patient's medication, fluids, breathing, blood pressure, and temperature.
General anaesthesia suppresses your normal body functions. That is why your anaesthesiologist provides an endotracheal tube to provide oxygen which will control and assist the breathing process.
The duration for anaesthesia to work varies with the type of anaesthesia that's administered. Here's an approximate duration for each type:
Doctors can administer anaesthesia via injections, eye drops, inhalation, topical lotion, skin patches, and sprays.
An anaesthetist's role in a surgical procedure is only to give anaesthesia and manage it during the entire process. They are also responsible for managing all life-critical functions like blood pressure, heart rate and breathing, which are suppressed during the surgery.
Most often, patients meet their anaesthesiologists only before the procedure begins.
