Anesthesia is a medical treatment that keeps you from feeling pain during procedures or surgery. The medications used to block pain are called anesthetics. The specialisation of Anaesthesiology at SPARSH Hospital is an integrated-service department which is available to respond to any pain management issues, surgical procedures, cardiac arrests, respiratory and obstetric procedures. The team of anesthesiologists provide quality care with the help of new and efficient technologies and techniques to ensure complete patient safety, comfort and satisfaction — before, during and after the operative procedure.
The anaesthesia provided for each surgery is tailor-made to the patient and procedure. The dosages are calculated based on the patient’s weight, age, general condition, comorbidities and various other factors. Hence, the risk of overdosage is unlikely.
1. Disclose your medical conditions and medications for the same to your anaesthesiologist during the preoperative assessment.
2. Mention any allergies to medications.
3. Follow the instructions of the anaesthesiologist regarding fasting prior to the surgery.
4. Regarding the routine medications, one should confirm if they must be stopped or continued prior surgery. Your anaesthesiologist will let you know if and when any medications have to be stopped prior surgery.\
