Anaesthesia is a medical specialty concerned with the administration of medication, to aid in pain management and sedation. In other words, anaesthesia is the process of blocking the perception of pain and other sensations. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures, without any kind of distress and pain. The diversified forms of anaesthesias are local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia, and regional anaesthesia. Doctors specializing in the administration of anaesthetics are known as anaesthesiologists or anaesthetists. Anaesthesiologists are the physicians trained to administer, and manage anaesthesia given during a surgical procedure. They are also responsible for managing and treating changes in critical life functions - breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure - as they are affected by the surgery being performed.

The department of anaesthesia at Kalra Hospital is composed of physicians and nurses, specially trained and board certified in the area of medicine that is dedicated to providing pain relief. We are involved in the care of the surgical patient before, during, and after the procedure. Kalra Hospital also utilizes latest medical technology to monitor the level of anaesthesia called the Bispectral Index Monitor (BIS), a device that measures the effects of anaesthesia on a patient's level of consciousness, by monitoring patient's brain activity. The monitor enables anaesthesiologists to tailor the patient's anaesthesia dose to meet individual needs, which can vary based on factors such as age, weight, and medical history. The BIS monitors make it safer for our patients, and help ease some of the anxiety they might feel going into surgery.

What are the procedures followed by doctors during the treatment of anaesthesia at Kalra Hospital?

Before surgery, doctors medically evaluate the patient, discuss individual concerns, and consult with the surgical team, in order to determine the best type of anaesthetic to deliver.

During surgery, doctors administer the proper medications to provide pain control, relieve anxiety, and support vital functions.

After surgery, they supervise postoperative care and ensure adequate pain control, and recovery from anaesthetic medications.

The members of the department of anaesthesia at Kalra Hospital provide anaesthesia for all types of adult and paediatric surgical procedures, including cardiac, neurosurgical, obstetrical, etc. surgical procedures. We are known as one of the best providers of anaesthesia treatment facilities in the medical domain.

Plastic surgery is one of the oldest, and one of the newest surgical specialties. Plastic means "to form." It does not refer to "plastic" materials, although they may be used. Plastic surgery is concerned with the repair and reconstruction of lost, injured, and deformed body parts as a result of burns, cancer, trauma, and birth defects. Plastic surgery generally does not deal with viscera, but with the non visceral structures, viz. scalp, skull, external ear, face and facial bones, chest wall, abdominal wall, external genitalia, and extremities.

There is a common opinion about plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery. In fact, there are two general categories of plastic surgery, re-constructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. The former refers to rebuilding structures that were normal, but damaged by injury or disease. Examples include skin grafting for burns and repair of hand injuries. The latter refers to the attempts to improve the appearance of relatively normal structures, to beautify!

Plastic surgery covers a very wide field, and can be considered under the following clinical areas:

From arthroscopic procedures to total joint replacement to spinal surgery, the hospital’s orthopaedic surgeons provide the latest methods available to care for injuries, and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system that includes bones, joints, and the muscles that move them.

Post-surgical care is managed via care paths, i.e. medical roadmaps that detail all steps involved in treating and caring for patients. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, therapists, and care coordination staff, care paths enable practitioners to effectively monitor progress and manage care. Care paths also act as educational tools for patients, relieving anxiety by informing them of what to expect during treatment and recovery.
