Pre-operative assessment:

All patients are evaluated extensively prior to the administration of anesthesia, both before admission (10 am – 4 pm, Mon - Sat) and also in the rooms and wards. The Anaesthesia plan and the risks involved are explained to the patient.

Administration of Anaesthesia:

The anesthesia technique is planned for each patient depending on the surgical procedure, the condition of the patient, and the availability of drugs.

Several anesthetic techniques are offered:

• For general anesthesia, modern anesthetic agents with minimal side effects are used.
• Regional anesthetic techniques performed include spinal, epidural, and caudal anesthesia, as well as nerve blocks.
• Monitored anesthesia care is used for patients undergoing surgery under local Anaesthesia.
• Each patient is monitored continuously during the procedure.

Post Anaesthesia care:

All patients who undergo surgery under Anaesthesia are observed in a modern well equipped postoperative recovery care unit by specially trained nursing staff under the guidance of the Anaesthesiologists. Care is taken to provide adequate post-operative pain relief to every patient. Those who need more intense monitoring for a longer period of time are shifted to the critical care unit for further management.

Post-operative pain management:

Acute Pain Service is provided for acute and immediate post-operative pain management of admitted patients.
