The role of an anesthesiologist in a surgical
procedure is critical. They not only need to administer an anesthetic drug but they have
to continuously monitor the patient health during and even after the completion of the
surgery. The entire process of anesthesia can be divided into three stages:
1. Pre-surgery Anesthesia support
Prior any surgical procedure the patient needs
to
be
anesthetized. Our expert anesthesiology team will plan and manage the entire process
carefully
with
intense care. To make the plan they will enquire you about your medical history,
allergies
or
preferences. Based on your health requirements, surgical requirements and your
preferences,
they
will plan the best anesthesia procedure for you. They will discuss the entire procedure
and
possible
complications with you in detail. You can ask if you have any query or doubt related to
your
procedure. The anesthesiology team will then carefully administer you with the
anesthetic
drug
and
will continuously monitor your health status to make sure that you are in a
satisfactorily
regulated
unconscious state before the surgical procedure starts.
2. ntra-surgery Anaesthesia support
The anesthesiologist team will monitor your health
status continuously during the entire surgical procedure to prevent any complications.
The
things
about which they will be concerned about includes –
1. Monitoring your major body functions including
your
heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, temperature and oxygenation. These parameters can
get
affected during the surgery.
2. Addressing and managing any problem that may
arise
during surgery
3. Managing any pain and discomfort during the
entire
procedure
Along with the surgeon, the anesthesiologist will
take
the important decisions during your surgery which are critical for your life. You can be
given
muscle relaxants during the procedure if needed.
3. Post- Surgery Anaesthesia support
As soon as your surgery is complete, the
anesthesia
medicines will be stopped. In a case of local Anaesthesia, you may feel pain when you
get
out of
the
effect of the anesthetic medication. If you were administered with general anesthesia,
you
will
wake
up slowly in the operating room itself or in the recovery room. You may feel groggy and
can
experience some side effects of anesthesia, post-surgery. Some of the common
side-effects of
general
anesthesia are:
1. Sleepiness
2. Shivering
3. Nausea
4. Vomiting
5. Mild hoarseness or a sore throat
6. Dry mouth
7. Discomfort
8. Mild to intense pain
The anesthesiology and critical care team will monitor
your health while reversing the effects of anesthetic medication while you get back your
consciousness. They will ensure that you feel minimal discomfort, pain and other
side-effects. If
needed, they can give you medications to help you deal with pain and other side-effects.
In very
rare complicated cases there could be permanent nerve damage or in the worst scenario,
the patient
may even die. Thus, it is highly important that you are in the expert hands to prevent
such
serious complications. At AINU, the team of experienced anesthesiologists provides
intensive
care and unmatched services to their patients to obtain best results.
