Before Operation:
Pre-anesthetic check up to assess the patients fitness to withstand the stress of anesthesia and surgery.
Conversation with the patient to inform him/her about anesthesia he/she will receive, its possible complications and the way it will be done.
During Operation:
All kinds of general anesthesia and regional anesthesia (epidural, spinal, peripheral neutral blocks) are administered. Immediately after operation, the patient is cared for by anesthetist in recovery room until he/she fully recovers from anesthesia.
Epidural analgesia for women in labour can be provided.
After operation:
Anesthetist will provide acute pain treatment. We routinely use PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) where pain killers are administered by the patient himself through a special pump, which will be pre-programmed by the anesthetist.
The Anesthetist has a major role to play in intensive care treatment, especially of surgical patients and those who require mechanical ventilation or other invasive procedures
