Department Of Anaesthesiology

If you are about to undergo surgery, the doctors will first administer anesthesia to reduce pain during the surgical process. The type of anesthesia that the professional will give you will mainly depend on factors like your health condition and the surgery procedure. The type of anesthesia that we provide includes:

• Local Anesthesia: This type of anesthesia is given to the patient to numb only a small portion of the body. The most appropriate example of using local anesthesia is cataract surgery, skin biopsy, or a dental process. Here you are awake during the process.
• General Anesthesia: General anesthesia will make you insensitive to pain or unconscious during the surgery. It is necessary when the surgery is invasive or involves an area of the chest, head, or abdomen. After taking the dose, you become unconscious and feel nothing. You will have no memory of how the procedure was performed.
• Regional Anesthesia: Regional anesthesia makes a larger part of the body insensitive, like the area below your chest or limb. In addition to regional anesthesia, the doctor may give you sedation, or you can be conscious during the surgical process. It is necessary to ease childbirth pain or during C-section, knee surgery, hip or spinal surgery, etc.
• Conscious or intravenous sedation: This is a mild sedative given to you by the doctor to relieve pain along with pain medicine. After taking the dose, you may remain awake, but you will not remember the process afterward.

Depending on the type of surgical procedure and the anesthesia the professionals are providing, they can deliver it through three ways:

• Inhaled gas
• Injection, through intravenous method or shots
• Liquid, patch, or spray applied to your eyes or skin

Patients with anesthesia are adequately monitored with a well-equipped recovery unit and an exceptional team of trained staff. They all will report the readings of your condition to the anesthesiologists who further looks after patients’ post-operative pain relief process. Moreover, those patients who require more intense monitoring and for a longer period are transferred to the critical care unit.
