Anesthesia is a medical specialty concerned with the
administration of medication, to aid pain management through sedation or
blocking of sensation. This allows patients to undergo complex surgery and
other procedures without the distress or pain, they would experience
otherwise. Prior to surgery, the anesthetist interviews the patient to
determine the best combination of drugs and dosages and the degree to which
monitoring is required to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
The anesthesiology department at Kalra provides expert care in the
operation theaters, intensive care units, pain clinic, and casualty. It is
equipped with latest anesthesia machines, ventilators, invasive and
non-invasive monitors, and fiberoptic endoscopes to manage all types of
patients during a surgery. The hospital also utilizes latest medical
technology to monitor the level of anesthesia called the Bispectral Index
Monitor (BIS), a device that measures the effects of anesthesia on a
patient's level of consciousness, by monitoring the patient's brain
activity. This enables the doctors to determine the right dose based on
various factors like age, weight, and medical history. BIS monitoring makes
it safer for our patients, and helps to ease anxiety before surgery.
We have a registered team of doctors, who administer and manage anesthesia
given before surgical procedures. They are also responsible for managing and
treating changes in critical life functions - breathing, heart rate, and
blood pressure. The different forms of anesthesia include local anesthesia,
general anesthesia, and regional anesthesia.
The different stages of anesthesia include the following:
Pre-Operative Assessment
The anesthetist will interview you prior to your surgery in order to
determine the best combination of drugs and dosages. It also helps to access
how much monitoring would be required during the procedure to ensure the
safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
Intra-Operative Management
Depending upon the type of surgery and the patient's medical condition, the
anesthesiologist will decide upon the anesthetic technique.
Post-operative pain management
Anesthesiologist plays a vital role in keeping the patient pain-free and
comfortable during the recovery period.
